Adult ADHD Assessment
Comprehensive ADHD evaluation for adults
A comprehensive ADHD assessment provides diagnostic clarity and actionable recommendations for adults who have struggled with attention, organization, or follow-through. Our evaluation goes beyond checklists to understand how attention difficulties affect your specific life circumstances.
ADHD assessments are often combined with autism, psychoeducational, psychological, or neuropsychological assessments when there is more than one question to answer.
Who This Assessment Is For
Consider an ADHD assessment if you:
- Have longstanding difficulties with attention, organization, or task completion
- Find you work harder than others to achieve similar results
- Have been told you're not living up to your potential
- Wonder whether ADHD might explain persistent challenges
Our Assessment Approach
A thorough evaluation to provide diagnostic clarity
We conduct a thorough evaluation to:
- Determine whether symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD
- Rule out conditions that can mimic ADHD (anxiety, depression, sleep disorders)
- Identify co-occurring conditions (ADHD commonly co-occurs with anxiety, depression, and learning disorders)
- Understand how difficulties impact your specific circumstances
- Develop targeted, practical recommendations
The Assessment Process
