ADHD ASSESSMENT
There is no single test or questionnaire that can be given to determine
whether or not someone meets the criteria for ADHD. We use a multimodal
approach - that is to say, we use a battery of tests in order to
evaluate a client's performance across different types of activities.
The battery of tests varies from person-to-person, but frequently
includes the following:
• intake interview (20-30 minutes)
• 2 administrations of a computer-based test (2 hours)
• measure of cognitive ability (2 hours)
• in-depth interview (1-2 hours)
• referral to consult with a psychiatrist for medication evaluation
LD ASSESSMENTS
LD evaluations require a battery of tests that assess both cognitive
abilities and scholastic achievement. In addition, other tests may
be administered as needed. The battery of tests varies from person-to-person,
but frequently includes the following:
• intake interview (20-30 minutes)
• cognitive ability & achievement battery (4 hours)
• measure of cognitive ability (2 hours)
• in-depth interview (1-2 hours)
