How testing works

Thorough, not trendy.

Most ADHD evaluations amount to a short checklist and a fifteen-minute conversation. A real evaluation takes two sessions, sorts ADHD from the conditions that mimic it, and ends with a plan, not just a label.

1

In-depth clinical interview

Your history, in your words. About an hour.

2

Standardized testing, including the TOVA

Objective measures of attention and impulsivity.

3

Input from people who know you best

Collateral perspectives from family or teachers.

4

Careful differential diagnosis

Separating ADHD from anxiety, trauma, and more.

5

A written report with a clear roadmap

What was found, and exactly what to do next.
