Learning disability assessement provides critical indicators for how employers can help employees become successful.  Employers must provide accommodations for learning disability-identified individuals.

Post secondary schools require specific learning disabilities assessments to provide accommodations.  Assessment can help guide career choices by determining suitability for academic and workplace requirements.

For educators, learning disability screenings provide valuable infomration about how best to teach individual students and how to best assess each student's abilities.
