Get clear answers about how your mind works.
If focus, organization, or impulsivity have been getting in the way, a thorough evaluation can show whether ADHD is the reason and what to do next. You leave with a clear explanation, not just a label.
A thorough evaluation, not a quick checklist
ADHD testing is a comprehensive clinical evaluation that looks at attention, focus, impulsivity, and organization across your life. It combines a detailed interview about your history with standardized rating scales and a review of how symptoms affect work, school, and relationships.
Many other things can look like ADHD, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and poor sleep. A careful evaluation helps sort out what is driving your symptoms so the recommendations actually fit.

What your evaluation looks like
From paperwork to results, here is how the process works. Your care team will confirm timing and format when you book.
Pre-Visit Questionnaires
After you book, you’ll receive questionnaires about your symptoms, history, and daily functioning. Completing them ahead of time makes your appointment more productive.
Clinical Interview
You meet with your provider to discuss your symptoms, development, school and work history, medical background, and mental health. With your permission, input from a partner, parent, or other close contact can add helpful perspective.
Standardized Rating Scales & Records Review
Validated tools measure attention, impulsivity, and related symptoms. Your provider also reviews any past records, report cards, or prior evaluations you can share.
Results & Personalized Plan
Your provider explains the findings in plain language. If ADHD is diagnosed, you’ll discuss treatment options such as therapy, coaching, workplace or school supports, and medication when appropriate.
What to bring to your evaluation
You don’t need to prepare perfectly. These items help your provider get a fuller picture.
