What is Testing for ADHD/ADD?

Testing for ADHD/ADD involves taking a close look at your behaviors and determining if they meet the criteria for ADHD. A set of tests are given that measure attention, memory, attention to detail, and listening memory.

After the testing is completed we review the results together and talk about treatment options.

Many children and adults struggle with attention, focus and concentration problems.  ADHD is a combination of a neurological problem and poor skill development in attention and concentration. It can effect a person's home, school and work life.
