We offer a thorough, evidence-based assessment process that busy parents and working adults need - with flexible scheduling and detailed reports that help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation process that examines attention, hyperactivity, and executive functioning patterns to determine whether symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Our targeted ADHD assessments in White Plains combine clinical interviews, standardized testing, and behavioral observations to provide a complete picture of cognitive functioning and attention-related challenges.

The assessment process begins with a detailed intake session where we explore developmental history, current symptoms, and functional impacts across different environments. This is followed by 3-6 hours of specialized testing that measures attention span, working memory, processing speed, and executive functions like planning and impulse control. We use gold-standard assessment tools, including continuous performance tests, IQ measures, and ADHD-specific rating scales.

Our neuropsychological approach examines not just whether ADHD is present, but how attention difficulties interact with other cognitive strengths and challenges. This comprehensive perspective allows us to identify co-occurring conditions like learning disorders or anxiety that may complicate the diagnostic picture. We also assess how ADHD symptoms impact academic performance, work productivity, and social relationships.

Following testing, our team spends extensive time analyzing results and preparing a detailed report that includes diagnostic conclusions, functional recommendations, and accommodation suggestions for school or workplace settings. The feedback session provides families and individuals with clear explanations of findings and practical next steps for treatment and support in the White Plains area.
