Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect focus, impulse control, organization, task completion, and emotional regulation across the lifespan. While ADHD is often first recognized in childhood, many individuals continue to experience symptoms into adulthood, sometimes without fully understanding the source of their struggles.
Comprehensive assessment can provide clarity, identify strengths and challenges, and guide effective treatment and support.
An Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) evaluation is more than a checklist of symptoms. A comprehensive assessment looks at attention and executive functioning in the context of the whole person, including cognitive strengths, learning style, emotional functioning, and day-to-day demands.
Your diagnostic evaluation will be provided by a licensed clinical psychologist or a Masters level psychologist working towards their Ph.D/Psy.D who will gather information from multiple sources.
First, they will conduct an interview with you. This gives us in-depth information about your history including information from your development, education, professional life and family history. The interview can be performed virtually for flexibility of scheduling and convenience.
Second, we will have you complete standardized rating scales and personality measures, which provide important additional information. These rating scales can be completed online at your convenience. We will also ask that an observer assessment be completed. This is someone that is familiar with your behavior and can complete an assessment on your behalf.
We will also conduct tests of cognitive ability, achievement, executive functioning, and memory in person in order to rule out other possible causes of inattention/poor concentration.
Once all of the information is gathered, we put all of the pieces together and provide a comprehensive report of the findings. We will schedule a separate appointment with you to go over the findings and provide personalized recommendations.
We encourage you to reach out to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. You can tell us a little bit about what you would like to work on and we can determine which clinician is likely to be the best fit.
