ADHD Assessments (ages 6 through adulthood):

An ADHD assessment involves the steps outlined below and is based on my hourly rate:

• Completion of a pdf form detailing background information and symptoms (emailed to you upon booking and completed prior to your appointment)
• A one-hour office visit to complete a brief inventory, 15 minutes of computerized attention testing, and clinical interview
• A detailed report outlining diagnosis and recommendations (2 hours)
• A follow-up one hour appointment to review the report outlining results and recommendations

Please do not ingest caffeine for 4 hours prior to your first appointment. If a trial of medication is considered appropriate by a medical doctor it is possible to repeat the attention testing and review symptom improvement once the medication has been started. A “Progressive Analysis” will determine whether there is a statistically significant improvement in attentional capacity while on medication versus off medication. This information can be part of the decision to help decide whether to continue with the medication.
