ADHD Assessments

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder beginning in childhood, although many individuals may not be diagnosed until adulthood. People with ADHD may struggle with:

  • Paying attention and staying focused

  • Finishing tasks and meeting deadlines

  • Staying organized and managing time

  • Impulsivity or acting without thinking

  • Restlessness or feeling mentally "on the go"

When to consider an ADHD assessment:

  • You are struggling to stay focused, especially on tasks that require sustained attention.

  • You feel disorganized and often overwhelmed by daily responsibilities.

  • You frequently forget things, misplace items, or miss appointments.

  • You have difficulty finishing tasks, even ones you’re interested in. 

  • Your symptoms interfere with work, relationships, or daily life.

  • You need an updated assessment for academic accommodations. 

 If these difficulties align with your experiences, an ADHD assessment can help provide clarity, answers, and a plan for moving forward.
