ADHD Assessment

We provide comprehensive assessments Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Texas. When it comes to ADHD, a comprehensive assessment and an accurate diagnosis are paramount. Psychological assessment plays a crucial role in determining whether an individual has ADHD and provides valuable insights into their cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and behavioral patterns.

What Is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning and development. Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty sustaining attention, organizing tasks, managing time, and controlling impulses. ADHD can significantly impact academic, occupational, and social functioning.

Benefits of Psychological Assessment for ADHD

a) Accurate Diagnosis: ADHD symptoms can overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. Psychological assessment provides a systematic approach to differentiate ADHD from other disorders, ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.

b) Tailored Treatment: Each individual with ADHD is unique, and psychological assessment helps identify specific strengths and weaknesses. This information allows clinicians to develop personalized treatment strategies, including medication management, behavioral interventions, and therapy techniques tailored to the individual s needs.

c) Monitoring Progress: Regular psychological assessments enable clinicians to monitor the effectiveness of interventions and track an individual s progress over time. By assessing changes in symptom severity and functional impairments, adjustments to treatment plans can be made to optimize outcomes.

Can I Receive Academic Accommodations?

The short answer is, “no.” Our ADHD assessment is purely for treatment planning purposes only; most insurance plans will not view an assessment for educational purposes (i.e, to receive academic accommodations) as being “medically necessary,” thus they will decline to pay for the service. Additionally, our assessment procedures and report may lack essential elements that schools, testing companies, or licensing boards may require to qualify for an accommodation.

Are ADHD Assessments Covered by Insurance Companies?

Typically, yes. We will attempt to verify your insurance benefits; however, verification does not guarantee payment for services. Our team will do their best to review your plan and advise you of your benefits before confirming your appointment, so you can make an informed decision.

How the Process Works:

Clinical Interview

You will meet with your psychologist for 1 to 1.5 hours. During this meeting, they will ask you questions to obtain information for two purposes:

1. To gather relevant historical information and symptoms.

2. To customize the plan for the testing session in order to answer the questions you or your referring provider have.

Testing Session

During the testing session, you will be asked to answer questions verbally, and complete some computerized testing. The time-frame to complete testing takes approximately two hours. Once testing is complete, you and your psychologist will meet for a feedback session.

Feedback Session

Upon completion of the assessment procedures (i.e., interview and testing) and review of any collateral records, you and your psychologist will meet for approximately one hour to discuss overall impression, diagnoses, and recommendations. You will also receive a completed comprehensive report no later than seven days from the date of your feedback session - we can also send this report to another healthcare provider upon your request and a signed release of information.
