The Official Guide for Parents, Teachers, Students, School Counselors, and Psychologists

The University System of Georgia created three centers to help provide services to students with learning disorders, such as learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, acquired brain injury, and related conditions. We provide specialized assessments for these students, serve as a resource in identifying appropriate accommodations to meet their educational needs, and conduct research to increase knowledge about these disorders.

This information has been designed for the purpose of providing general information about the Regents Centers for Learning Disorders. We hope the information will be helpful to you in understanding what services the Centers provide and how those services can be accessed.

This website is updated regularly to reflect the most current Board of Regents policies and information about the Regents Centers.
