It is unfortunately too common for adults not to have had a learning problem identified when they were schoolchildren. Now that they are grown up, they find themselves struggling with certain kinds of problems that just do not seem to add up. Here are a few examples – see if any of these sound like you:

	You’ve always loved reading and can never put down a book once you start it. Yet, even doing simple calculations, such as estimating how much groceries will cost while shopping at the supermarket, can trip you up and leave you feeling stupid.
	You are chronically late, but have the best of intentions in getting your work done on time, and despite all of your efforts and hard work, you cannot seem to achieve your goals.
	When you are playing video games with your child, you can be really focused, but when you have to work on organizing the bills, you get distracted and disorganized, and never quite get it done.
	When someone asks you a question, it takes you an extra moment to understand what they are saying even though when you read requests in an email, you get what is needed immediately.

Psychoeducational testing can help you identify the source of what is interfering in your life, and if you have a learning or attentional problem, spell out what is needed so that you can perform to your potential. Testing can also direct you to the accommodations you may need in the workplace and elsewhere.
