So that we may select procedures and estimated time & costs of an evaluation please print out this worksheet and fill it in before scheduling testing and or diagnostic consultation. For those interested in learning more about Dr Whiteside's approach to ADHD assessment and treatment, please e-mail or call his office. Students with learning disabilities or ADHD may benefit from accomodations on standardized testing (e.g., end of grade achievement evaluations). The need for accomodations can be identified and documented by psychological testing. There are many factors that can interfere with successful student performance, one of which may be dysgraphia.

Whiteside & Daniel encourages the use of assistive technologies in such cases. One product that offers a myriad of useful tools is the Kurzweil 3000.

Standardized tests can help educators assess instructional effectiveness and identify individual learning problems or needed interventions. For some children though, standardized tests can also create anxiety that can be reduced with cognitive or hypnotic techniques, coaching or accomodations.
