What We Do

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Student Assessment Services (SAS) Clinic is a student training facility in the Department of Educational Psychology within the School of Education. The Student Assessment Services (SAS) Clinic provides psychoeducational evaluation of UW–Madison students who are experiencing attention and learning problems that interfere with their academic performance. Services offered include diagnostic interviews, cognitive and academic assessment, and mental health screening. After assessment, the testing results and any relevant diagnoses are explained to students. Students also receive a written report summarizing assessment findings. Although SAS collaborates with other individuals and agencies at the student’s request, such as faculty and the McBurney Disability Resource Center, the university student retains responsibility for advocacy. To obtain a referral form, call the clinic at 608-265-2802 or email the clinician at studentassessmentservices@education.wisc.edu. Clinic staff will send an initial referral form and schedule a time for an initial screening interview.

Faculty, staff, and students in the SAS Clinic adhere to the ethical standards of the American Psychological Association and the National Association of School Psychologists. All information provided by and about clients is considered confidential.

ADHD Group for College Students

SAS is excited to offer a group intervention designed to address core symptoms of ADHD. Students will meet weekly in a small group during the semester to learn strategies to improve attention, concentration, and overall management of ADHD in academic, occupational, and social settings. Students will learn strategies to develop organizational systems, essential skills for learning and studying, and associated self-care and self-advocacy.

For more information or to enroll, contact SAS at 608-265-2802 or studentassessmentservices@education.wisc.edu. Groups are offered in fall, spring, and summer each year.
