It may be time to consider an ADHD Evaluation if you or your child is not consistently performing to their potential and/or if behavioral problems interfere with daily life.

Finding the right support for your child can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Our pediatric behavioral health experts can help immediately by offering families a deeper understanding of whether ADHD is related to their child’s struggles.

How can an ADHD evaluation help?

  • Results may be used to develop educational and/or behavioral intervention plans with your school and health care providers. ​
  • For young adult patients, this information can also help with planning to manage symptoms that interfere with professional growth.​
  • Empower parents to make informed decisions in the short term, as well as plan for your child’s future success.
