Our clinicians use age-appropriate tools and rating scales (such as Vanderbilt, Conners, and SNAP-IV forms) designed specifically for children and adolescents, ensuring accurate differentiation between ADHD and other developmental or behavioral conditions.
We gather structured feedback from teachers and caregivers across multiple settings—home, school, and social environments—to capture the full picture of how ADHD symptoms present and impact daily functioning.
Following evaluation, families receive a detailed written summary of findings, diagnostic conclusions, and treatment options—including medication, behavioral strategies, school accommodations, and psychotherapy referrals as appropriate.
Phone-based intake and appointment scheduling minimize no-shows and eliminate scheduling confusion, ensuring children start their evaluation journey on time.
A comprehensive ADHD evaluation for children includes a detailed intake interview with parents/guardians covering developmental history, birth and medical history, family ADHD history, and current symptoms across settings; standardized ADHD rating scales (Vanderbilt, Conners, or similar); teacher feedback forms; cognitive and behavioral screening; and a clinical interview. The clinician then synthesizes this information into a diagnostic summary with treatment recommendations.
The initial evaluation typically spans one to two visits. The first appointment includes comprehensive history-taking and behavioral screening; follow-up may include additional rating scales or cognitive screening. Turnaround time for a written report is usually one to two weeks after the final evaluation session.
Yes. We provide teacher rating forms (such as the Vanderbilt or Conners teacher version) that capture school-specific observations of attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and behavior. Parents mail or email these forms to us, and we review them as part of the diagnostic process.
If ADHD is diagnosed, we provide families with a comprehensive report outlining the diagnosis, severity, and recommended treatments. Options may include medication management, behavioral strategies, school accommodations (IEP or 504 Plan), psychotherapy, or a combination. We can initiate medication management or refer to a therapist as needed.
Yes. When you call, our staff gathers initial information about your child's symptoms, developmental history, and concerns. We answer your questions, verify insurance eligibility, and book your first appointment on the spot—eliminating follow-up scheduling calls.
