Assessment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Is ADHD testing appropriate for me or my child? Will it be helpful?
An evaluation for ADHD may be helpful if you, a caregiver, or a teacher have observed struggles that interfere with the ability to function at home, at work, or at school. These struggles may include being easily distracted, difficulties starting or completing a task, procrastination, impulsivity, and being physically restless. These struggles can indicate underlying issues worth exploring to seek appropriate support.
Our clinic provides ADHD testing for both children and adults.
What is involved in testing?
An evaluation for ADHD typically involves a clinical interview, questionnaires addressing various areas of functioning (e.g. emotional and behavioral), and cognitive testing. We may also request teacher feedback and past evaluation records if any are available.
Testing usually takes place in-person over the course of 2 or 3 sessions that are between 2 to 3 hours each. Questionnaires will be emailed and can be completed at your convenience. Results are usually available within 2 weeks from the last in-person appointment or questionnaire completion, whichever is later. Specific scheduling needs can be discussed with your clinician.
How much does testing cost?
The fee for an ADHD-specific evaluation with no other diagnostic questions is $4500.
Occasionally, there are other concerns such as a specific learning disorder or autism spectrum disorder. Our testing service can be tailored to address additional questions for an overall fee of $5500.
