Risks & possible complications

- A misdiagnosis or incomplete diagnosis if the assessment is not comprehensive.

- Financial cost, as comprehensive assessments are often not fully covered by insurance.
- Possible fatigue due to the length of the testing sessions.
Recovery & hospital stay

- The psychologist will schedule a feedback session to explain the results, diagnosis, and recommendations in detail.
- Key next steps involve sharing the formal report with relevant parties (school, tutors, workplace).

John Singh, a 58-year-old accountant, had always struggled silently. He was a diligent worker, but tasks like writing detailed reports, following complex multi-step instructions in meetings, and managing his schedule caused him immense anxiety and took him twice as long as his colleagues. He had developed meticulous coping mechanisms over decades, but a recent promotion to a managerial role exposed these challenges. His new boss noticed consistent difficulties with written communication and project planning. John's GP, suspecting a lifelong, undiagnosed specific learning disorder, referred him to Dr. Kapoor, a clinical psychologist specializing in adult assessments. The process involved comprehensive interviews about his childhood and work history, along with standardized tests for reading, writing, and executive functioning. John felt vulnerable but also seen for the first time. The diagnosis of Dysgraphia and a Specific Learning Disorder with impairment in written expression was a revelation, not a label. Post-assessment, with a formal report in hand, John worked with an occupational therapist on strategies and requested reasonable accommodations at work, like speech-to-text software. Emotionally, he moved from decades of shame and self-doubt to profound relief and self-compassion. He understood his brain worked differently, not deficiently, and could finally address challenges with clarity instead of blame.
