Testing children and adolescents for ADHD and attentional challenges

All children and adolescents struggle with paying attention, focusing, and concentrating from time to time. However, some individuals are falling behind the performance of their same-aged peers in social, emotional, behavioral, and/or academic areas because of their difficulty managing their attention and behavior. Our evaluation of attention investigates whether the observed behaviors (inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity) are within developmental expectations or are outside of the typical range that exists for their age. Other factors that can impact attention such as sleep, eating behaviors, and physical activity are considered during this ADHD testing evaluation.

  • Thorough assessment of the presence and extent of attentional problems using formal measures of attention and clinical history of presenting concerns

  • Treatment and academic-based recommendations can be made to improve school performance, as well as any co-occurring mood or behavioral difficulty
