Do you have these questions about ADHD Evaluations?

Are you concerned about your child’s fidgeting or lack of attention?

Has a teacher, relative, or therapist suggested you or your child might have ADHD?

Are you an adult who struggles with staying on task or following instructions?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder describes a pattern of difficulties with attention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. ADHD is becoming more of a well-known diagnosis these days, and if you recognize any of the features in yourself or your child, you may be interested in an ADHD test to learn whether the diagnosis fits or not.

What are ADHD evaluations?

Our psychologists have received highly specialized training to carefully evaluate a person’s abilities and determine whether they meet the criteria for ADHD. We offer comprehensive evaluations for children (ages 5 years and up), adolescents, and adults.

Our evaluations include:

• Parent and/or client interview to discuss concerns, review developmental history, and suggest next steps
• Review of school, medical, therapy, and any previous testing records
• Evaluation of developmental, cognitive, adaptive, and behavioral functioning through formal testing, rating scales, and interviews with caregivers and teachers
• Direct observation of child’s play, language, and social interactions
• Administration of the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scale 2 (CAARS 2)
• Cognitive/intellectual testing as needed
• Assessment of additional emotional or behavioral concerns as needed

After the testing process is complete, we will have a feedback session to discuss the results. You’ll receive a comprehensive written report of results, a diagnosis if applicable, and recommendations. We’ll review and explain the information to you and provide recommendations for your next steps. If you choose to share the information in the report with your school or other healthcare providers, it may help you access helpful resources such as educational accommodations, government-funded resources, and/ or other medical or therapeutic services.
