ADHD (and/or Learning Disorders)

      A Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment

 

An Overview 

ADHD and learning disorders affect millions of adults and can impair occupational, scholastic, and social quality of life. For many people who have struggled for years, blaming themselves, having a diagnosis can reframe difficulties as solvable obstacles, and a thorough assessment can help uncover the strengths and assets that often are masked by perceived inadequacies. When these difficulties prevent you from having the opportunity for success, a proper evaluation can lead to accommodations with schools and places of business.

 

Description of the Process

Testing includes measures of intelligence, attention, reading, math, executive functioning, and personality. Evaluations often include review of school records, clinical interview, and checklists that are completed by others who know you well. 

(If the evaluation will be used to request university accommodations, prior to testing we will confirm that the methods we use fulfill the requirements of your university's Student Disability Services.)
