Standardized Exam Accommodations

Common accommodations
Extended time, stop-the-clock breaks, reduced-distraction environment, sit/stand option during testing.
Timeline
Testing organizations can take 7–10 weeks to review accommodation requests. Complete testing well in advance of your registration deadline.
What makes documentation successful
Recent evaluations (within 3–5 years), formal diagnosis from a qualified professional, objective test data, and a clear connection between the diagnosis and requested accommodations. Reports are designed to meet these rigorous standards.

Memory & Cognitive Assessments
Older Adults · Dementia · Alzheimer’s
Evaluations for adults experiencing memory problems, confusion, or cognitive decline — distinguishing normal aging from conditions requiring medical attention. Full details →
Common reasons for evaluation
- Memory loss interfering with daily activities
- Difficulty managing finances or medications
- Getting lost in familiar places
- Confusion about time or dates
- Changes in language or word-finding
- Personality or mood changes
What the evaluation identifies
Testing distinguishes between normal aging and conditions such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, depression that mimics memory loss, TBI/concussions, and medication effects on cognition.
Insurance
Evaluations are private pay. Contact us with any questions before scheduling.
Why early evaluation matters
Early assessment allows identification of treatable causes, access to medications that may slow progression, and planning for the future while the person can participate in decisions.
N-648 Immigration Medical Waiver Evaluations
Citizenship · USCIS · Se habla español
Are you, or is a family member, applying for U.S. citizenship but unable to meet the English language or civics requirements because of a medical or developmental condition? You may qualify for an exemption, but first you need documentation from a licensed clinical psychologist.
USCIS Form N-648 (Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions) requires an evaluation by a licensed provider who can certify that a medically determinable physical or developmental disability or mental impairment prevents the applicant from meeting the standard requirements for naturalization. Dr. Nuñez is experienced in completing these evaluations and providing the comprehensive documentation USCIS requires.
Who may qualify
- Applicants with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive disorders
- Applicants with intellectual disabilities or developmental disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder)
- Applicants with significant memory loss or cognitive decline following stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or serious illness
- Applicants with severe mental health conditions that substantially limit learning or communication
What the evaluation includes
The evaluation typically includes a clinical interview (with a family member or caregiver present if helpful), a review of relevant medical records, and cognitive testing to assess memory, language, and overall functioning. The process is conducted in Spanish or English, based on your preference. A formal written report meeting USCIS standards is provided, along with the completed N-648 form.
What you receive
- Completed USCIS Form N-648, signed and certified by Dr. Nuñez
- A supporting written report documenting the diagnosis and its impact on the applicant's ability to learn English or pass the civics test
- Evaluation conducted in Spanish if preferred — no interpreter needed
Important: USCIS does not guarantee approval of any N-648 waiver. The evaluation documents the medical basis for the exemption request — the final decision rests with USCIS. Begin the process as early as possible, as there may be wait times for appointments and for USCIS to process your application.

The practice provides evaluations for adults ages 18 and older. We do not conduct assessments for children or adolescents under 18.

Includes clinical interview, 4–6 hours of testing, scoring and interpretation, a detailed written report, and a feedback session. Transparent pricing is provided before you commit to testing.
Insurance typically does not cover neuropsychological testing for educational accommodations. While some plans cover testing when medically necessary, testing for college or standardized exam accommodations is generally not covered. A detailed superbill can be provided to submit for potential reimbursement.
Yes. Reports provide clear rationales for accommodation recommendations grounded in objective testing results. Testing companies and academic institutions approve requests case-by-case.

- Distraction-reduced environment: separate, quiet testing room
- Breaks: stop/start breaks as needed

Memory & Cognitive Testing for Older Adults
- Age-related memory decline
- Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
- Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal)
- Cognitive changes following stroke or TIA (mini-stroke)
- Depression or anxiety affecting memory and thinking
- TBI / Concussions
- Medication effects on cognition
No referral is required, although many patients are referred by their primary care physician or neurologist. A copy of the report will be sent to your referring physician and any other providers you authorize.
- List of current medications (or bring the bottles)
- Recent medical records, if available (neurologist reports, brain scans, lab results)
- Eyeglasses and hearing aids, if you use them
- A family member or close friend who knows you well (for the initial interview)
Testing can be tiring, especially for older adults. We can take breaks as needed and split testing across multiple shorter sessions if necessary. The goal is to get an accurate picture of your abilities in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Schedule as soon as you or your family notice concerning changes. Early evaluation can identify treatable causes, detect mild impairment before it progresses, establish a baseline for monitoring, and provide peace of mind if testing shows normal aging.
