Your child may benefit from an ADHD evaluation if they frequently:

☐ Lose homework or personal belongings ☐ Forget directions ☐ Have trouble sitting still ☐ Seem constantly distracted ☐ Rush through schoolwork ☐ Have emotional outbursts ☐ Struggle to finish assignments ☐ Receive comments from teachers about attention ☐ Have declining grades despite being capable ☐ Take much longer than expected to complete homework

If several of these sound familiar, a comprehensive ADHD assessment may provide valuable answers.

Our ADHD evaluations explore multiple areas to understand your child’s full learning and behavioral profile:

• Attention
• Executive functioning
• Working memory
• Processing speed
• Cognitive abilities
• Academic achievement
• Emotional functioning
• Behavioral regulation

A comprehensive ADHD assessment helps determine whether ADHD — or another condition — is contributing to your child’s challenges. Many children who appear inattentive may actually be experiencing anxiety, learning disabilities, or processing differences.

Children can often be evaluated as early as preschool or early elementary if significant concerns are present. The appropriate age for a full evaluation depends on your child’s developmental history and the nature of the concerns. We always discuss whether testing is suitable.
