We apologize in advance for any broken links! We are checking them often as it is a very dynamic time for education-oriented organizations and websites.
We frequently receive calls about getting psycho-educational testing. That testing is not part of the lab. But you can get testing at the FSU Multidisciplinary Center. They can be reached at 850-644-2222. Their website is https://mdc.fsu.edu/
For college students and adults the Adult Learning Evaluation Center may be of help. Their website is https://education.fsu.edu/centers-institutes/adult-learning-evaluation-center-alec and the hone number is 850-644-6885.
