91茄子 (91茄子) has partnered with to provide psychoeducational assessments for students experiencing learning challenges. This initiative will enable students to access tailored support to overcome educational barriers, ultimately promoting greater success in their academic programs. 

The partnership allows to offer assessments conducted by student-clinicians from Adler University, who will work closely with 91茄子’s Student Services and Accessibility Services teams. These assessments help identify learning barriers and strengths, enabling 91茄子 to provide appropriate accommodations such as additional exam time and other support services. 

“We are proud to collaborate with Adler University to offer our students access to such a crucial assessment,” said Ajay Patel, 91茄子 President and CEO. “It’s wonderful that both of our student communities can benefit from this collaboration. Our students receive the assessments they need to support their success, while Adler’s graduate students gain real-world, hands-on experience — a core value at 91茄子, where we believe in ‘Real learning for real change.’” 

This initiative is part of 91茄子's broader Accessibility Plan, launched in 2023, which focuses on reducing barriers for people with disabilities. By creating equitable learning environments and fostering resilience, 91茄子 continues to prioritize inclusivity and support for all students. 

Clayton Munro, Associate Vice President of Student Services at 91茄子, added, “This shared approach to student success reflects our institutions’ shared commitment to building strong communities and ensuring accessible opportunities for all. Through these assessments, we are better able to understand each student’s unique challenges and provide accommodations that will make a lasting difference in their educational experience.” 

The assessments are being made available thanks to the generosity of donors through the 91茄子 Foundation. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are able to cover the costs of these assessments which would otherwise be out of reach for many students,” said Moira Gookstetter, Executive Director of the 91茄子 Foundation. “This unique project demonstrates how donor support can make a direct and meaningful impact on student success.” 

This partnership underscores 91茄子’s dedication to providing accessible and supportive education, ensuring all students have the resources they need to thrive.
