Testing for a learning disorder or ADHD
Counseling services offers testing services for students who may be interested in being tested for either a learning disorder or ADHD.
The ADHD testing may assist in receiving accommodations from the University’s Disability Services or to gain access to appropriate ADHD medications. The student should call Counseling Services at 864-503-5195 to set up an initial evaluation appointment.

Because evaluations are individualized to each client’s specific needs and referral concerns, the length of examinations varies from client to client. Generally speaking, evaluations can typically last from about 3 to 5 sessions (but can sometimes be longer). The length of each session depends on the client’s specific needs and referral concerns.
-
Generally speaking, the assessment process begins with a complete psychosocial evaluation. This will be followed by 2 to 4 examination sessions. Once all examination sessions have been conducted, a comprehensive report is written. Once the report is completed (about one to two weeks after final evaluative session), a final appointment to review findings will be scheduled.
