We offer a wide range of comprehensive neuropsych testing and diagnostic services for children, teens, and adults struggling with cognitive or behavioral patterns commonly associated with attention deficit hyper-active disorder (ADHD). Testing provides a clinical perspective into why certain behaviors, thought processes, or learning patterns have begun to interfere with daily life.
ADHD testing provides clarity to questions or concerns that will likely go unanswered without the help of a mental health professional. The results of testing will indicate if an ADHD diagnosis is appropriate and can open the doors for a better quality of life by improving daily functioning, productivity, mental health and overall well-being.
Neuropsych testing for ADHD measures the cognitive and executive functions that often contribute to ADHD symptoms. ADHD can present itself in a variety of forms from one person to the next. This is why each client is given a custom, unique, and individualized set of tests that are best suited to their symptoms, needs, and challenges.
Testing measures cognitive patterns associated with ADHD such as memory, hyperactivity, processing speed, and attention. Testing is administered by our team of expert mental health professionals and involves standardized behavioral and symptom questionnaires, written tests, and assessments done on the computer.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms vary in severity and may change over time. Not everyone with ADHD will exhibit all of these signs, and they may express themselves differently in children, adolescents, and adults.
