EVALUATIONS

ADHD/Psychoeducational evaluations determine:

• Whether a child or adult meets criteria for ADHD/ADD
• How severe the impairment is
• How it is affecting other areas of functioning
• Whether other factors are affecting behavior or cognitive functioning
• Recommendations for improvement in different areas of functioning

For example, anxiety, depression, and processing disorders, to name a few, can manifest in very similar ways to ADHD.

ADHD/Psychoeducational evaluations consist of tests that measure:

• General cognitive abilities
• Attention
• Activity
• Distraction
• Processing
• Memory
• Learning
• Executive functions
• Psychological functioning

Children’s brains are very “plastic”, making neurological changes faster and easier than in adults. Because of this, early intervention is important!
