Service Description
ADHD Testing Services:
Welcome to our ADHD Testing Services, where we provide comprehensive assessments to help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their cognitive functioning and potential attention-related challenges. It's important to note that while our testing services can provide valuable insights into symptoms associated with ADHD, they are not meant to solely diagnose ADHD. This is not recommended if you are seeking an ADHD diagnosis, for that we recommend our Comprehensive ADHD Testing & Psychiatric Evaluation. We utilize the gold standard of testing, utilizing the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), to offer a thorough evaluation and inform a more accurate and nuanced understanding of your cognitive profile.
Purpose:
Our ADHD Testing Services serve several purposes:
Symptom Understanding:
For individuals experiencing difficulties with attention, focus, and impulsivity, our testing services offer a thorough exploration of cognitive functions. This helps in understanding the nature and extent of symptoms related to attention challenges.
Tailored Recommendations:
Following the assessment, our team provides personalized recommendations based on your unique cognitive profile. These recommendations may include therapeutic interventions, lifestyle modifications, or further evaluation by specialists as needed.
Educational and Workplace Support:
For those seeking support in educational or workplace settings, our testing services can provide documentation that may be helpful in obtaining accommodations and support services.
Who Benefits Most:
ADHD Testing Services are best suited for individuals who:
Experience Attention-Related Challenges:
If you or someone you know is grappling with difficulties related to attention, focus, impulsivity, and organization, our testing services can provide valuable insights.
Seeking Clarity and Understanding:
Individuals who want a more comprehensive understanding of their cognitive functioning without relying solely on an ADHD diagnosis.
Exploring Contributing Factors:
For those interested in understanding whether attention-related symptoms may be influenced by other factors such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences.
Educational and Workplace Context:
Students, professionals, or individuals in need of documentation for accommodations in educational or workplace settings.
Our aim is to provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive assessment of your attentional functioning. TOVA testing, combined with psychiatric evaluation tools, ensures a thorough and individualized approach to diagnosing and addressing ADHD.

How Does ADHD testing work?For individuals seeking clarity on ADHD symptoms, adhd diagnosis, or requiring accommodations, our ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation is recommended and offers a thorough assessment that includes both virtual and in-person psychiatric evaluations, followed by in-person computerized ADHD testing. ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation ($460): Includes psychiatric evaluation with computerized TOVA testing. Evaluations can be conducted virtually and in person. This is essential for those seeking an ADHD diagnosis, accommodation, or treatment planning. Standardized ADHD Testing ($255): The purpose of T.O.V.A. (Test of Variables of Attention) testing is to objectively assess attention-related difficulties, such as those associated with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). This does not include a diagnosis but is to accompany a previous provider's specific request for diagnostic testing only. Accommodations: To obtain ADHD accommodations, a comprehensive ADHD evaluation is necessary, and we provide accommodation letters for an additional fee of $95.

I was previously diagnosed. Will you manage my treatment and medication?Currently no, we do not manage ongoing treatment and medication for previously diagnosed individuals. Our focus is primarily on conducting ADHD evaluations and ensuring availability for our new patients seeking treatment management.
