ADHD Evaluations for Children & Teens
Thorough, individualized assessments to help your child focus, learn, and thrive.
Clarity and Support for Your Child’s Journey
Is your child struggling to focus in class, having difficulty staying organized, or feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks? We provide comprehensive, neurodiverse-affirming ADHD evaluations to help you understand your child’s unique brain. We move beyond simple checklists to identify strengths, challenges, and the specific support needed for them to thrive at home and in school.
Our Comprehensive Evaluation Process
We believe in a thorough, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to diagnosis. Our process is designed to minimize stress and ensure an accurate, individualized understanding of your child’s needs.
Clinical Diagnostic Interview: A thoughtful conversation to review developmental history, current challenges, and your child’s unique experiences.
Standardized Rating Scales: Evidence-based tools completed by parents and teachers to gather insights across different environments, such as home and school.
Behavioral & Cognitive Assessment: Targeted evaluations to understand executive functioning, attention, and memory.
Differential Diagnosis: A careful clinical review to distinguish ADHD from other factors—such as anxiety, learning differences, or sleep issues—that may mimic similar symptoms.
Personalized Feedback Session: A dedicated meeting to discuss the findings, explain what they mean for your child, and collaborate on a customized, actionable support plan.
