Evaluations can confirm an ADHD diagnosis while ruling-out additional factors, including oppositional behaviors, anxiety, low processing speed, and other mood disorders.
ADHD is a disorder of "doing," not "knowing." Many people with ADHD require daily reminders and struggle to begin tasks, even with prompts. People with ADHD often get distracted, which can be misinterpreted as oppositional or defiant behaviors.
Why Testing Matters: ADHD confirmation opens the door to helpful accommodations for the rest of your life. In ADHD testing, we examine executive functions, such as the ability to shift attention, remain vigilant, engage short-term memory, behavioral activation, and effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does ADHD testing take?
The entire process—from initial consultation to receiving your comprehensive report—takes approximately 2 weeks. The testing session itself is typically 3-4 hours.
Can adults be tested for ADHD?
Absolutely. We evaluate adults ages 18-89. Many adults seek ADHD testing after years of struggling with focus, organization, or completing tasks despite high intelligence.
Will this help me get accommodations on the SAT, ACT, or professional exams?
Yes. Our comprehensive ADHD evaluations meet the documentation requirements for College Board (SAT/AP), ACT, LSAC (LSAT), AAMC (MCAT), and other testing agencies.
What if it's not ADHD?
Our comprehensive evaluation assesses for conditions that can look like ADHD: anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, or trauma. If ADHD isn't present, we'll identify what is causing your symptoms.
My child can focus for hours on video games—can they really have ADHD?
Yes! This is actually very common with ADHD. Many children with ADHD can hyper-focus on activities that interest them, while struggling to pay attention to less engaging tasks. This paradox is one reason why proper testing is so important.
Do I need to stop my ADHD medication before testing?
It depends. We'll discuss this during your free consultation. Sometimes we test both on and off medication to see the difference.
Will this report be accepted by my child's school?
Yes. Our comprehensive reports meet requirements for IEP and 504 Plan eligibility and include specific accommodation recommendations.
Do you take insurance?
