Comprehensive ADHD Assessments for Children, Teens, and Adults

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect people of all ages, impacting their ability to focus, stay organized, and manage daily tasks. Whether you’re a parent noticing your child’s struggles with attention or an adult wondering if ADHD might be affecting your productivity, our ADHD Evaluations are designed to provide clarity and understanding. Through thorough assessments, we help identify ADHD and offer actionable recommendations to support success at school, work, and in everyday life.

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can interfere with functioning across various aspects of life, including school, work, and relationships. ADHD affects both children and adults, though it may present differently at different ages. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve long-term outcomes by addressing symptoms and providing appropriate support.

Who Can Benefit from an ADHD Evaluation?

An ADHD evaluation can provide valuable insights for:

  • Children and Teens: If your child is struggling with focus, organization, or behavior at school, an ADHD evaluation can provide a clear diagnosis and guide interventions.

  • College Students and Adults: Many individuals are not diagnosed with ADHD until later in life. If you’ve experienced persistent difficulties with attention, organization, or impulsivity, an evaluation may explain these challenges and help you access support at work or school.

OUR EVALUATION PROCESS

We offer a detailed, step-by-step evaluation process to ensure a thorough and accurate diagnosis of ADHD. Our assessments are tailored to the individual’s age and specific challenges. Here’s what you can expect:

INITIAL CONSULTATION

We start by gathering information about your concerns, developmental history, and any specific difficulties you or your child are experiencing. This helps us understand the context of the evaluation.

STANDARDIZED TESTING

We use a series of evidence-based, standardized assessments that measure attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive functioning. These tests are designed to identify patterns commonly associated with ADHD.

BEHAVIORAL OBSEVATIONS

In addition to formal testing, we observe behaviors in various settings to gain insight into how attention challenges manifest in real-life situations.

INTERVIEWS WITH OTHERS

For children and teens, input from parents and teachers is critical to understanding how symptoms impact daily life. We may also request feedback from colleagues or supervisors for adults.

DETAILED REPORTING

After the evaluation, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the findings and personalized recommendations. This may include educational or workplace accommodations, therapy, or other strategies to manage ADHD symptoms.

Why Seek an ADHD Evaluation?

Identifying ADHD early—or even later in life—can be a transformative step toward managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Some benefits of seeking an evaluation include:

  • Clarity and Understanding: If you’ve been struggling with focus or impulsivity, an evaluation can provide answers and help you understand why these challenges are occurring.

  • Access to Accommodations: Schools and workplaces often require a formal diagnosis to provide accommodations like extended time on tests or adjustments to workloads.

  • Personalized Interventions: With a clear diagnosis, you can access targeted strategies like behavioral therapy, coaching, or medication management to improve attention and organization skills.

  • Increased Confidence and Productivity: Many individuals feel a sense of relief after receiving a diagnosis, which can empower them to take control of their ADHD and thrive in school, work, and personal life.

Signs That an ADHD Evaluation May Be Needed

While ADHD can present differently in each person, common signs that an evaluation may be helpful include:

  • Difficulty focusing or staying on task

  • Frequent daydreaming or zoning out

  • Trouble following through on tasks or instructions

  • Disorganization in work or school settings

  • Hyperactivity or restlessness, especially in children

  • Impulsive behavior or difficulty waiting for turns

  • Trouble managing time or meeting deadlines

  • Easily distracted by external stimuli

If you or your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, an ADHD evaluation can provide clarity and guide you toward the right support and interventions.
