Directors: Bonnie Klein-Tasman, PhD (she\/her\/hers) & Kerry O’Mahar, PhD, ABPP (she\/her\/hers) and Kimberly Rennie (Weissgerber), PhD (she\/her\/hers)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Assessments conducted by graduate students in our clinical psychology PhD program, under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. The focus of the clinic is on assessments of children 8 and older where the primary referral question is the possibility of learning (reading, writing, or mathematics learning disorder, dyslexia) or attention difficulties (ADHD). We do not currently offer assessments where the primary focus is emotional factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All aspects of the assessment are video recorded for supervision purposes. The cost for the assessment is on a sliding fee scale depending on family income with a maximum fee of $75\/hour. Most assessments take between 10 and 12 hours including initial interview and feedback session to review the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in an assessment for your child, please email\u00a0psych-childassessment@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0with the age of your child and the main reason you are seeking an assessment. A faculty supervisor will then reach out for a discussion of the fit of your needs with the offerings of the clinic once we are close to being able to consider scheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinic Directors*: Bonnie Klein-Tasman, PhD (she\/her\/hers), Kerry O’Mahar, PhD, ABPP (she\/her\/hers)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The CSLD Assessment Clinic waitlist is currently closed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The 51ÁÔÆæ College Student Learning Disability Clinic is a specialty clinic operating within the Psychology Training Clinic in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at 51ÁÔÆæ. All direct services are provided by graduate students in the clinical psychology PhD program supervised by a licensed psychologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The clinic is devoted to providing diagnostic assessment services for those university students seeking protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act for learning or attention problems. We do not prescribe or manage medication in this clinic. The clinic offers psychoeducational evaluation on a sliding fee scale to assess for learning disability and\/or attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individuals seeking such accommodations should first contact the Accessibility Resource Center<\/a> (229-6287 or archelp@uwm.edu<\/a>) to determine whether an evaluation from the College Student Learning Disability Clinic is needed. An evaluation by our clinic could be useful to individuals who do not already have documentation to determine eligibility for accommodation services at the Accessibility Resource Center. If an evaluation is needed, then three to four sessions of interview and testing (approximately 8-12 hours) are scheduled at the CSLD. Once these sessions are completed, a follow-up appointment (1 hour) is scheduled to discuss the results and recommendations for intervention, accommodations, and strategies to support learning. If a formal diagnosis of learning- or attention-related difficulty is made, then a referral back to ARC occurs to discuss possible classroom accommodations and other arrangements to facilitate academic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. O\u2019Mahar is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the Department of Psychology and supervises second year assessment practicum training.
