ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, executive functioning, and behavioral regulation. It shows up differently in every child. Some kids are visibly hyperactive. Others sit quietly but can’t hold onto what the teacher just said. Some compensate so well that no one notices until the demands of school or life outpace their ability to keep up.
When families come to us with ADHD concerns, we conduct an evaluation tailored specifically to your child’s needs. This means we may assess your child’s cognitive abilities, academic skills, attention and executive function, emotional and behavioral functioning, and developmental status in order to determine barriers to success. Attention and executive function, including sustained attention, impulse control, working memory, organization, planning, and task initiation, are assessed as part of this broader evaluation.
If ADHD is present, our evaluation identifies it and clarifies how it impacts your child and their overall functioning. Because we assess all domains of functioning, we also identify other conditions that may look like ADHD, co-occur with it, or contribute to the challenges you’re seeing, such as learning disabilities, anxiety, mood concerns, or sleep difficulties.
Our Approach: What Sets Us Apart
We look beyond surface behaviors because attention problems, learning challenges, emotional concerns, and developmental differences frequently overlap. An evaluation focused only on ADHD may miss other factors contributing to your child’s functioning. Our tailored neuropsychological approach evaluates the whole child, so we can identify every barrier to your child’s success and build recommendations that address the full picture.
