If you've always had trouble focusing, remembering what you just read, staying organized, actually finishing things you started, or feel constantly overstimulated, you may be wondering if ADHD could be the explanation. Some people spend years developing elaborate systems and strategies to keep life running, but things still seem harder than they should.

​

An ADHD assessment can help you figure out what is going on. 

​

Our ADHD assessments are for children ages 6 and up, adolescents, and adults. The goal is to determine whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and, if so, better understand how your attention and related cognitive processes might be affecting you at school, work, home, and in everyday life. 

​

What does an assessment involve?

​

You'll meet with your psychologist to talk about what's been going on, your history, and the symptoms or challenges that brought you in. You'll also complete two standardized computerized tests that give us additional information about attention and symptoms associated with ADHD. 

​

Then we go through your results with you. Your psychologist will explain what they found, answer your questions, and talk about what makes sense from here.

​

A quick note about timing: ADHD assessments need to be booked to begin no later than 3:00 pm. We want your results to reflect your attention as accurately as possible, without end-of-day mental fatigue muddying the results. 

​

And then what?

​

We don't want to hand you a diagnosis (or not) and send you on  your merry way. Depending on what we find and what you actually need, next steps might include a report to support accommodations at school or work, talking with your doctor about medication, or connecting with a therapist who understands ADHD and can help you figure out what might make your life a little easier. 

​

The point isn't to answer the question "Do I have ADHD?" It's to help you understand what's actually going on, and what to do with that information.
