Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect focus, organization, motivation, emotional regulation, and daily functioning at school, work, and home. A comprehensive ADHD evaluation helps determine whether symptoms are due to ADHD, another condition, or a combination of factors.
We provide thorough, evidence‑based ADHD assessments for children, teens, and adults. Our goal is to offer clarity, accurate diagnosis, and practical recommendations that truly help.
What Is an ADHD Evaluation?
An ADHD evaluation is a structured, research‑supported assessment that examines attention, executive functioning, behavior, and emotional factors. It helps determine:
- Whether ADHD is present
- The type of ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined)
- How symptoms affect daily functioning
- Whether another condition better explains the symptoms
- What supports, accommodations, or treatments may be helpful
Our evaluations follow best‑practice guidelines and include standardized testing, clinical interviews, and behavioral measures.
Who Might Need an ADHD Evaluation?
An ADHD evaluation may be helpful if you or your child is experiencing:
- Difficulty focusing or staying on task
- Trouble completing assignments or work tasks
- Disorganization or forgetfulness
- Losing items frequently
- Procrastination or difficulty starting tasks
- Impulsivity or acting without thinking
- Restlessness or difficulty sitting still
- Emotional reactivity or frustration
- Trouble managing time or planning
- Academic or work performance concerns
- Difficulty following through on responsibilities
- Feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks
Many individuals seek evaluation after years of struggling without understanding why.

For younger clients, the evaluation may include:
- Parent interview
- Teacher input (when appropriate)
- Developmental and academic history
- Behavioral rating scales
- Cognitive and executive functioning testing
- Emotional and behavioral screening
This helps differentiate ADHD from learning disorders, anxiety, autism, or other conditions that can look similar.
ADHD Evaluations for Adults
Adult ADHD often looks different than childhood ADHD. Evaluations for adults may include:
- Clinical interview focused on work, relationships, and daily functioning
- Review of developmental history
- Standardized ADHD rating scales
- Executive functioning and processing speed measures
- Screening for anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout
- Assessment of functional impairment
Many adults discover ADHD later in life after years of coping with symptoms.
