Testing for ADHD

Less chaos. More clarity.

A comprehensive ADHD evaluation can help determine whether symptoms like distractibility, forgetfulness, or difficulty with follow-through are related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Some individuals come in knowing they need documentation for accommodations. Others are unsure and want to better understand their challenges. Either way, testing provides clarity, direction, and a roadmap for next steps.

ADHD assessments are often required by schools or employers to determine eligibility for academic or workplace accommodations. These might include extended time on exams, quiet testing environments, movement breaks, or assistive tools like laptops and smart pens.

Testing goes beyond identifying ADHD. It also evaluates executive functioning skills such as working memory, task initiation, time management, and cognitive flexibility. You’ll receive individualized, evidence-based recommendations to support daily life. These may include practical strategies, referrals, or documentation for accommodations. The goal is not only to confirm a diagnosis but to help you understand how your brain works and how to move forward with more confidence.

I provide ADHD evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. All assessments are conducted in person at my Arlington, Virginia office and tailored to the individual. Evaluations include a detailed examination of attention, executive functioning, working memory, processing speed, and other cognitive skills. We focus not just on symptoms, but on how they appear in real-life settings such as school, work, and relationships.

Testing results can also be used to request accommodations on standardized exams like the SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, and GMAT. Common supports for ADHD include extended time, reduced-distraction environments, movement breaks, and access to assistive technology.

An accurate ADHD diagnosis can open the door to meaningful change, offering a new understanding of yourself and the tools to thrive.
