Genetic Testing & ADHD Evaluation

An ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive assessment used to determine whether someone has Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It typically includes:

• Comprehensive Assessment: A thorough ADHD evaluation typically includes interviews, questionnaires, and behavioral assessments. These tools help professionals gather information about symptoms and their impact on daily life.

• Medical History Review: A review of the individual's medical history is essential in ruling out other conditions that may mimic ADHD symptoms.

• Standardized Testing: Some practitioners may use standardized ADHD rating scales to compare results against normative data, aiding in the diagnostic process.

• Collaboration with Educators: For children, input from teachers can provide valuable insights into the child’s behavior and performance in a structured environment.

The goal is to understand symptoms, rule out other conditions, and create an accurate diagnosis to guide treatment and support.
