Understanding ADHD

If you wonder why you struggle to pay attention to things you care about, start new projects without finishing previous ones, struggle to stay seated, or why your performance does not reflect your intellectual capabilities, you may benefit from a comprehensive evaluation for ADHD-related concerns.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Symptoms of ADHD may look like difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. However, how ADHD shows up for you or your child may look different than how it presents for others. 

Why ADHD Assessment?

Our ADHD testing services offer a thorough assessment process to accurately diagnose ADHD and differentiate it from other conditions that may present similar symptoms. By undergoing testing, you or your loved one can gain a deeper understanding of cognitive functioning, behavioral patterns, and potential areas of strength and weakness. Assessment can aid in developing more individualized treatment plans, which may include added academic/occupational support and resources. 

Our Approach to ADHD Testing

At Coastal Therapy Group, we take a comprehensive approach to ADHD testing, recognizing the unique needs and experiences of each individual. Our licensed psychologists conduct a series of assessments, which include:

• Clinical Interview. We begin by gathering detailed information about your medical history, developmental milestones, and current symptoms.
• Behavioral Observations. We observe behaviors in various settings to gain insight into attention span, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
• Cognitive Testing. We assess cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and executive functioning through performance based tests..
• Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Functioning Assessment. We utilize validated rating scales completed by you, your family members, and teachers to gather additional information about symptoms and functioning.

Personalized Recommendations + Support

Following the assessment process, your testing clinician will provide you with a comprehensive report outlining the findings and recommendations tailored to your unique needs. Whether a diagnosis of ADHD is confirmed or not, we offer guidance, support, and resources to help you or your loved one navigate challenges and thrive.
