The Student Health & Wellness team supports students who have or need to be assessed for a learning disability.

Our healthcare team includes psychologists who may provide screening assessments, learning strategies, and advocacy services to students with learning disabilities (LD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) depending on information obtained from an initial intake interview with the psychologist.

Get support from Student Health & Wellness

Students in Halifax who would like to discuss possible learning concerns can make a same-day counselling appointment with the Student Health & Wellness Centre. After this session, you may be referred to a psychologist for an initial intake interview to further discuss these learning concerns.

Students located in Truro can make an appointment with a nurse at Health Services.
