Screenings help us to identify whether a student is "at risk" or "not at risk" for certain learning disabilities or has advanced learning capabilities.
*UVA does not offer diagnostic testing, which determines with 100% accuracy that tested conditions are present. We offer screening tests, which identify whether or not there is a risk or a possibility that tested conditions are present. That distinction is important.
