free learning disability testing in usa or canada?

Question

or as cheap as possible for professional learning disability testing.

Answer 1

If you are in school you should request an IEP (individualized Education Plan). This is a program that is free of charge and is required and paid for by the state and your local school district. They test to see if you have a learning disability and what resources you may require if you do. I have used these services for a few years now. My son was tested and he required a special education school and then he required to be placed in a 24 hour residential treatment center. They pay for all the funding.
If you are an adult they could have resources at your local EDD office and can help you with work or school and will pay for some college expenses or clothing for work. My brother was able to useboth resources because he is deaf. The hardest part is trying to find the resource that could be offered to you. They do not make them well known so really do your homework on what is available in your area and ask ask and ask again.

Answer 2

A doctor can't test you for something like that, i have a learning disability and i was diagnosed with Learning disabilities by my fifth grade teacher. By taking a few tests, not blood tests or brain scans, but pencil and paper tests and just plan observation. I was 10 years old and I had the reading level of a 7 year old. My doctor had nothing to do with my diagnoses nor my treatment. By treatment I don't mean drugs, but going to a separate school with five other kids and being taught how to read, write and do math all over again. i was there for six months, when I was done I could read just as well if not better then my fifth grade classmates. I am now 20 years old and not once has my doctor had anything to with my learning disabilities

For school kids, go to the Counseling Office of your public school. Request testing for learning disabilities. There should be no charge. You should receive results of the testing and be counseled as to what interventions are available in your area.

Adults with learning disabilities, I believe, can go to Vocational Rehabilitation -- Voc Rehab. There is an assessment process, and if you choose to accept their assistance, a "case plan" can be formed as to receiving treatments or education that is suitable for you. In these cases, the agency objective is to return this person to work so that they can financially be self-sufficient.
