You've had a feeling for a while now.
Something is harder than it should be. For your child, or for you. The struggle is real — you can see it — but you don't have a name for it yet. An evaluation doesn't give you a label. It gives you a map.
- Your child is smart, but school is exhausting for everyone
- Homework takes three hours and ends in tears — yours included
- Teachers keep saying he'd do better "if he just tried"
- She zones out. He can't sit still. Neither fits neatly into anything.
- You've wondered about yourself — the lost keys, the forgotten things, the feeling that you're working twice as hard for half the result
- You just want to understand what's actually going on
Not a verdict. A starting point.
An ADHD evaluation is one of the most clarifying things you can do — for your child, or for yourself. Here's what it actually is.
It's a comprehensive clinical picture
We look at the whole person — not just behavior in one setting. ADHD looks different at home, at school, in relationships, and internally. A thorough evaluation accounts for all of it.
It rules things in — and out
Anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, and learning differences can look like ADHD. And ADHD often travels with them. A differential diagnosis makes sure we're not missing something, or misunderstanding something.
It translates directly into support
The written report doesn't sit in a folder. It becomes the foundation for a support plan — in therapy, in coaching, and at school. If an IEP or 504 is appropriate, we'll say so.
It's not just for kids
Many adults come to us having managed their whole lives without ever knowing why things felt so hard. An evaluation for yourself is just as valid — and often just as life-changing.
Our comprehensive evaluation
Clinical Interview
A conversation about what you're experiencing — in your own words. History, patterns, daily life. We listen before we assess.
Developmental History
Understanding where someone is now requires knowing where they've been. We gather context that shapes the whole picture.
Standardized Rating Scales
Validated tools completed by the individual, parents, and when appropriate, teachers. Multiple perspectives, not just one snapshot.
Executive Functioning Analysis
ADHD is fundamentally about how the brain manages itself. We look at attention, memory, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Differential Diagnosis
We look at what else could be contributing, and whether other conditions are present alongside ADHD — because they often are.
Written Diagnostic Report
A thorough, readable report you can share with doctors, schools, and providers. Clear findings. Honest recommendations.
School Recommendations
When appropriate, specific guidance on IEP or 504 eligibility. We speak both the clinical and school language — and we'll help you advocate.
The right diagnosis creates the right support — at home, at school, and within yourself.
For children and adults, equally.
For your child
- Difficulty focusing, following through, or staying organized at school or home
- Impulsivity or emotional intensity that's affecting friendships or family
- A teacher or doctor has raised questions about ADHD
- An IEP or 504 meeting is coming up and you need clarity first
- You've tried other supports and nothing seems to stick
- You just want to know — so you can help them the right way
For yourself
- You've spent your whole life feeling like you're running behind everyone else
- You're creative and capable, but finishing things is a constant battle
- You've learned to mask it — and you're exhausted
- Your child just got diagnosed and suddenly a lot of things make sense
- You've been told it's anxiety, or depression, but something still doesn't fit
- You want to stop wondering and start understanding
An evaluation isn't a label. It's permission to understand.
We know some families come in worried about what a diagnosis might mean — for their child's future, for how people see them, for what comes next. We hear that. And we want to be honest with you.
A diagnosis doesn't define your child. It opens doors. It explains things that were mysterious. It makes it possible to ask for the right help. And when it's not the right answer, we'll tell you that too.
You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out. Not sure is a perfect place to start.
