One in five American students has a learning disability and while a proper evaluation could be one of the most impactful events in these students' lives, only 4% receive a diagnosis because of the high costs involved and the lack of access to the appropriate psychologists. Undiagnosed students are more likely to drop out of school, fail to find a job and subsequently suffer from mental health issues.
