ADD/ADHD Assessment Services
​We specialize in providing thorough evaluations for adults and adolescents (ages 10+) experiencing attention difficulties. Our goal is not just to identify a diagnosis but to equip clients with insights into their cognitive, social, emotional, and academic functioning.
​
Why Choose Us?
We use the Integrated Visual and Auditory (I.V.A.) Continuous Performance Test, combined with clinical expertise and other diagnostic procedures, to deliver accurate and comprehensive assessments for ADD and ADHD.
​
What to Expect​
Our assessments include the following key components:
-
Clinical Interview: In-depth exploration of attention concerns and their impact.
-
Developmental History: Essential for determining childhood onset, a hallmark of ADHD.
-
Standardized Measures: Testing results compared to age-based norms to ensure accuracy.
-
Collateral Input: Insights from parents, teachers, or spouses (as applicable).
-
Detailed Report: A formal diagnosis (if applicable) and personalized treatment recommendations.
​
The process and specific components of the evaluation may vary based on age and case complexity.
ADHD Assessment in Adults and Adolescents
​
Diagnosing ADHD often requires disentangling overlapping symptoms from other conditions. We employ multiple sources of objective and subjective data to ensure a reliable, well-rounded clinical picture. For adults, identifying childhood onset can be challenging but is critical to diagnosis.​
Beyond Diagnosis
Our evaluations go beyond diagnosing ADHD. They provide actionable recommendations to help clients thrive, including:
-
Strategies to enhance cognitive and emotional functioning.
-
Suggested accommodations for academic or workplace success.
-
Tailored interventions to address individual challenges.
​
Important Information
-
Insurance Coverage: Comprehensive ADD/ADHD assessments are not covered by insurance. Clients must self-pay in full.
-
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): HSA debit cards are accepted for payment at the time of service.

Assessments typically take place in two parts. The first appointment is usually a parent-only consultation followed by an evaluation with the client. In the second appointment we review the results and present clients with any diagnoses that we find, including a comprehensive report and suggested treatment protocol.

ADD/ADHD Treatment Services
Though there is no cure for ADHD, the symptoms of the disorder can be effectively managed with the proper combination of treatments. Just as there is no single test to diagnose ADHD in adults, no single treatment approach is appropriate for all individuals with attention problems. Nonetheless, virtually all adults with ADHD benefit from developing foundational organizational and time management skills. Our treatments often initially focus on helping individuals develop these skills. Thereafter, we tailor the treatment plan to each individual's unique needs. For many, it can be healing simply to receive the diagnosis and understand that many of their past difficulties can be understood as fallout from this neurobehavioral condition.
