Remote ADHD Assessments for All Ages

Diagnosing ADHD is a multi-step process, as no single test can definitively determine its presence. Various factors can contribute to difficulties with attention and focus, so it is essential to identify the root cause.

At the heart of our ADHD evaluations is a commitment to accuracy and thoroughness. We understand that diagnosing ADHD is a complex process, and we do not rely solely on self-report screeners.

Our assessments include QbCheck, the only FDA-cleared and CE-marked computerized test for ADHD. These advanced tools provide objective data on hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity, ensuring your diagnosis is based on comprehensive, real-time data. 

Differential Diagnosis for Precise Treatment

ADHD symptoms can mimic other conditions, making accurate diagnosis essential for effective treatment. By pinpointing the exact cause of symptoms, we tailor treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Our comprehensive approach differentiates ADHD from other diagnoses, such as:

Focused ADHD Evaluation

Our Focused ADHD Evaluation specifically assesses ADHD and includes standardized testing of the processing skills most affected by inattention and lack of focus. This assessment is designed to provide a targeted understanding of your condition.
  • Focused Assessment: Our online evaluations take 2 to 4 hours, plus an additional 2 to 3 hours for report writing and documentation, ensuring a detailed and accurate diagnosis.
  • QbCheck Testing: Includes the QbCheck, an FDA-cleared computerized test to provide objective data on ADHD symptoms.
  • Remote Convenience: Conducted primarily online with face-to-face interaction with the examiner, plus independent components completed by the client.
  • Symptom Inventories: Additional insights from parents, roommates, or spouses to understand observations at home.
  • Documentation for Accommodations: This provides sufficient documentation for some organizations or schools with less strict requirements. If more comprehensive documentation is needed, clients have the option to upgrade to a comprehensive evaluation at a prorated rate, ensuring cost-effectiveness.

Note: This evaluation may not meet all accommodation application requirements for college-level accommodations or standardized tests like the GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and professional licensing exams. If the documentation is insufficient, clients have the option to return for a prorated comprehensive evaluation later.
