Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
If you suspect that you or your child may have ADHD, our evidence-based assessments provide clarity and actionable strategies. We evaluate attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive functioning through a multi-faceted approach, including:
- Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation: Parent/teacher questionnaires (e.g., Vanderbilt scales) to assess ADHD subtypes and co-occurring conditions like anxiety or oppositional behavior.
- Cognitive Testing: Tools like the WISC-V to measure working memory, processing speed, and executive function.
- Behavioral Observations: Analysis of your child’s actions across settings (home, school) to identify ADHD patterns.
Tailored Outcomes & Support
- Clear Diagnosis: Differentiate ADHD from learning difficulties, mood disorders, or situational challenges.
- Practical Strategies: Personalized recommendations for managing symptoms, improving focus, and building organizational skills.
- School & Home Collaboration: Guidance for educators and families to optimize your child’s academic and social potential.
