Extra time and trouble with learning a foreign language

<p>Hi, I am going to be testing with a psychologist to see if I qualify for extra time on tests and if I have a disability that could make it difficult for me to learn a foreign language. Th psychologist mentioned I'd be taking two tests, one was a test of learning speed and I dont remember what the other one was. Does anyone know what it might be? Also, what actual Learning Differences is she testing for? I'm a little nervous about finding out if I have an actual issue, but i guess it's better to find out if I need help rather than to ignore it</p>

<p>There could be several causes for your learning differences. Sometimes the specific cause will dictate the particular set of adaptations that are recommended, sometimes it won’t. Sometimes more than one factor is involved, and sometimes no one particular factor can be identified. The psychologist will start out with one or two frequently used tests. Depending on the results of those tests, she may use other evaluative tools to try to pinpoint your learning issues.</p>

<p>It is ok to be a bit nervous because the tests she uses will be new for you. But please remember that the point of this is for YOU to find out how best to use your own brain. </p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
