Teen ADHD Evaluation
Expert care for your child begins here.
What is involved in a complete teen ADHD evaluation?
Clinical Interview & Consultation
Evaluating ADHD symptoms can be enough to get an ADHD diagnosis, but it is often not enough to help a child get the right treatment. A complete evaluation will consider all possible causes for problem behaviors
Rating Scales & Questionnaire
To get a complete picture, the evaluation will gather information about your child’s behavior at home, school, and in other settings. This will involve input from parents, caregivers, teachers, and any other professionals involved in your child’s care.
Behavioral & Physical Examination
Information from these other adults can show where and why the child has some of the behaviors. The information can help rule in or rule out some additional reasons for the behaviors that might need different treatment.
WHEN SHOULD I SEEK HELP?
Evaluating for Childhood ADHD
Early signs of ADHD can include distinct behavioral patterns. Parents may observe their child being more active, talkative, or impulsive than usual. They may also struggle with listening and following directions. The sooner you seek an evaluation the sooner you get help.
