What Is ADHD Testing?

ADHD testing is a formal evaluation process used to diagnose Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It typically involves a series of clinical interviews, validated rating scales, and a thorough review of developmental, medical, and personal history. This comprehensive approach allows our clinicians to assess symptoms accurately, distinguish ADHD from other conditions, and form a clear diagnostic picture.

The ADHD Assessment Process

Initial Consultation and History Review

Your first visit includes a detailed discussion about your current concerns, symptoms, and personal and family history. This initial meeting helps us understand your unique situation and determines the appropriate path for your evaluation.
We use validated questionnaires and rating scales to gather specific data about behaviors and experiences across different settings. You, and sometimes a parent, partner, or teacher, may be asked to complete these forms for a comprehensive view.
A clinician will conduct a thorough diagnostic interview to review all gathered information and assess your symptoms against established clinical criteria. This step is essential for confirming an ADHD diagnosis and ruling out other potential causes.
Once the evaluation is complete, we schedule a feedback session to review the findings and discuss the diagnosis. We will then collaborate with you to create a personalized care plan that may include medication management or other psychiatric care.
