Learning Strategies Admissions Requirements

- Be administered by a psychologist, psychiatrist or other health care professional qualified to make a diagnosis.
- Include a WISC or WAIS (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale).
- Include an achievement battery such as the Woodcock Johnson or the Wechlser Individual Achievement Test.
- Include other validating measurements necessary to verify a learning difference.
- Include a list of all the accommodations that the student might need in high school and college.
- Contain a specific diagnosis of a learning disability or attention deficit disorder.
If you have any questions about the evaluation, please contact Alice Berg, Director of Learning Strategies at Dunn School.
