ADHD Evaluations

What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impairing levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity.  It impacts our ability to focus, remember important details, remain seated, manage time, and regulate behavior.  

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 9.8% of children aged 3-17 were diagnosed with ADHD between 2016-2019.  Those assigned male at birth (boys and men) are 2x more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than women.  Those assigned female at birth (girls and women) are 2x more likely to present with ADHD, inattentive presentation.

Children who struggle with ADHD often have trouble with completing or turning in homework, completing chores, following multi-step instructions, and a host of other things.

Common issues for high functioning individuals and in adulthood include trouble sitting through meetings or lectures, forgetting “simple” things, leaving tasks and hobbies incomplete, and trouble with meeting deadlines.

Assessing ADHD

More often than not, people who struggle with ADHD have deficits in overall attention and behavioral dysregulation along with executive functioning difficulties.  These higher cognitive processes include memory, processing information efficiently, switching between tasks, and behavioral control as well as other functions that allow us to complete our chores and work, identify steps to solving problems, and keep ourselves on track.

Our ADHD evaluations assess several of these executive functioning areas along with:

• Comprehensive Intelligence testing
• Brief achievement testing
• Assessments of memory, processing, and executive functioning
• Emotional and behavioral rating scales
• Written Report including diagnosis, recommendations, and supplemental materials

The goal is not simply to give a diagnosis. It is also to understand the “superpowers” associated with ADHD as well as the ways it interferes with accessing your fullest potential.

Ways we help you do that is by providing thorough recommendations and resources that address the areas you or your child are struggling the most. Common referral sources include counseling, medication, academic accommodations, and more.
