The
Assessment Process
Our ADHD/ADD evaluation begins with a clinical interview, an extensive information
gathering session including parent/teacher rating scales. Subsequent components
include an ADHD/ADD focused physical examination (including hearing and vision
screening, and lab work when appropriate), full scale IQ and achievement testing,
and the M-MAT continuous performance test which objectively measures the core
symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.
At the end of this multi-phase evaluation process, parents and caregivers
will meet with the professionals involved to review the findings and discuss
treatment recommendations. A complete written report is provided at this time.
We believe this team centered approach is the optimal, most thorough and accurate
way to diagnose Attention and/or Hyperactivity Disorders.
