ADHD & Educational Assessments

ADHD and Educational Assessments involve gathering relevant information about an individual's areas of strengths and weaknesses to determine whether he or she may have ADHD or a learning disability. A formal diagnosis is often required in order to prescribe appropriate medications or help an individual qualify for work or school accommodations.

ADHD & Educational Assessments include:

Screening (clinical interview, review of medical, school, and/or work histories)
Evaluation (formal testing of cognitive abilities and emotional concerns)
Diagnosis (specifying the results of the assessment, including the type of ADHD/LD identified)
Recommendations (for work, school and/or daily living)
