ADHD Testing for Children in Clarkston

You’ve tried everything—reward charts, homework routines, reducing screen time—but your child still can’t seem to focus, finish tasks, or sit still. Sound familiar?

Our comprehensive child evaluations look at the complete picture: cognitive abilities, attention span, executive functioning, processing speed, working memory, and emotional regulation. We also screen for conditions that commonly co-occur with ADHD, like anxiety, learning disabilities, and autism spectrum traits.

We make the testing experience comfortable for children. Our Clarkston office has a welcoming atmosphere, and our psychologists are skilled at putting kids at ease while gathering accurate information.

ADHD Testing for Teens in Clarkston

The transition to middle and high school can be brutal for teens with undiagnosed ADHD. Suddenly they’re managing multiple classes, teachers, assignments, and extracurriculars—and the coping strategies that worked in elementary school aren’t enough anymore.

Signs your Clarkston teen might benefit from ADHD testing:

• Grades dropping despite obvious intelligence
• Chronic procrastination and last-minute panic
• Losing track of assignments and due dates
• Difficulty managing time and planning ahead
• Emotional outbursts or meltdowns over homework
• Social struggles or impulsive behavior

Our teen evaluations include direct conversation with your adolescent, because their perspective is essential to understanding what’s happening.

Adult ADHD Testing in Clarkston

Many adults in the Clarkston area come to us after years—sometimes decades—of struggling with focus, organization, and follow-through. Maybe you were labeled “lazy” or told you had “so much potential” but never quite lived up to it. Maybe you’ve changed careers multiple times or struggled to advance despite working harder than your peers.

An ADHD evaluation can finally explain patterns that have followed you throughout your life—and open the door to effective treatment and accommodations.

Our adult evaluations are designed for busy schedules, typically completed in a single extended session.

What Happens During an ADHD Evaluation

Your appointment will include:

• A detailed clinical interview about developmental history, current symptoms, and daily functioning
• Standardized cognitive and attention testing
• Executive functioning assessment
• Behavioral rating scales completed by you (and teachers/parents when applicable)
• Screening for anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and other conditions

Testing typically takes 3-5 hours for children and 2-4 hours for adults, with breaks built in. We know sustained attention is challenging for the very people we’re assessing.

After testing:

You’ll receive a comprehensive written report with clear diagnostic conclusions. We’ll schedule a feedback session to review findings, answer your questions, and develop a practical plan for moving forward.
