HELP FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH LEARNING PROBLEMS
College is meant to be a time of discovery, growth, and opportunity—but for many students, learning challenges can make it feel overwhelming instead.
Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with lectures, assignments, or reading loads—despite trying your best?
Do written tasks, math problems, or staying focused take more time or effort than they should?
You’re not alone. Many college students go undiagnosed until their academic demands increase. What may seem like procrastination, anxiety, or lack of motivation could actually be a learning difference—like dyslexia, ADHD, or a processing disorder.
With the right evaluation and support, you can succeed.
At Dr. Brinson’s office, we provide confidential, professional assessments to help you qualify for college accommodations and reclaim your confidence in the classroom.
According to the latest data provided by the National Center for Education Statistics(2014) more than 200,000 students entering college have some type of learning disability. Although most learning disabilities are identified early in life, it’s possible to discover that you have one in college.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
This disorder affects the brain’s ability to process visual input—not the eyes themselves. Students may misread words, struggle with copying from boards, or have difficulty organizing visual materials.
Our evaluations help document the need for larger print, visual aids, or reduced visual distractions in academic settings.
