Why Our Approach Works

Our ADHD evaluations are part of a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment, not a single-skill screening. We look closely at reading, phonemic awareness, writing, math, attention, memory, processing, and learning history to better understand what may be impacting a student’s academic progress.

By looking at the whole child—not just one score—we provide accurate diagnoses, clear answers, and recommendations families can use to support success in school and beyond.


After the Evaluation: Creating a “Road Map” for Success

Let us help you become the expert in your child’s learning

Within 10 to 14 working days, families meet with a Diagnostic Learning Services Director to review findings. During this meeting, we explain the results in clear, practical terms and walk through recommendations that can be shared with schools and support professionals.

Your report becomes a powerful tool that helps families advocate confidently and helps schools implement appropriate supports.

What Families Receive:

  • A clear explanation of evaluation results

  • Recommendations for school and home support

  • Documentation that can support advocacy

  • Guidance on possible interventions and resources

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, self-control, and activity levels. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adolescence and adulthood.

Students with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, following instructions, completing tasks, or managing impulsivity. ADHD is not caused by poor parenting or lack of effort—it is linked to brain-based differences and genetics.

With proper supports, structure, and individualized strategies, students with ADHD can thrive academically and emotionally.

Note: Historically, ADD and ADHD were considered separate diagnoses, with ADD describing inattentive symptoms and ADHD describing hyperactive symptoms. Today, ADD is no longer a recognized diagnosis. ADHD is the current diagnosis and includes three presentations: Inattentive, Hyperactive/Impulsive, and Combined.

There are 3 types of ADHD

Did You Know? Students with ADHD are often bright, creative, and capable. Early identification and appropriate supports can improve academic outcomes, emotional well-being, and confidence.

The Qb Check

As part of our comprehensive evaluation, we may administer the Qb Check, an FDA-approved objective measure that assesses attention, impulsivity, and activity level. This is used alongside additional standardized and clinical measures to support accurate diagnostic conclusions.
