Adult ADHD testing at IMPACT Psychological Services involves a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment designed to evaluate attention, executive functioning, and related cognitive abilities.
Our evaluation process goes beyond simple questionnaires to provide a thorough understanding of how ADHD may be affecting your daily life, work performance, and relationships.
The assessment begins with a detailed clinical interview exploring your developmental history, current symptoms, and functional challenges. Our licensed psychologists then administer standardized cognitive tests measuring attention span, working memory, processing speed, and executive functions like planning and impulse control. We also gather information from family members or partners when appropriate to understand symptoms across different settings.
Our neuropsychological assessment includes 7-9 hours of testing sessions, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of all relevant cognitive domains. This thorough approach ensures we can differentiate ADHD from other conditions that may present with similar symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or learning disorders. The extensive testing time also allows us to observe attention patterns and behaviors directly.
Following assessment completion, you'll receive a detailed written report explaining findings, diagnostic impressions, and specific recommendations for treatment, accommodations, and lifestyle modifications. A comprehensive feedback session helps you understand the results and develop an action plan for addressing identified challenges. This documentation is invaluable for accessing workplace accommodations, treatment planning, and personal understanding.
