Accurate and Timely Diagnosis for ADHD
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
If your child has trouble focusing, seems constantly “on the go,” or has big emotional swings, you might be wondering: Is this just their personality, or is something more going on? ADHD affects a child’s ability to focus, regulate impulses, manage emotions, and complete tasks, and it can impact school, home life, and friendships. An evaluation can help separate the myths from the facts and give you real strategies to support your child. We take the time to assess the whole picture — not just symptoms — so you walk away with real insight and a plan that works.
When should you make an appointment?
You should consider an evaluation if your child is constantly fidgeting, interrupting, forgetting instructions, struggling to finish tasks, or having frequent outbursts — especially if it’s causing challenges at school or home. Many parents worry about overdiagnosis, but untreated ADHD can lead to chronic frustration, low self-esteem, and academic struggles. ADHD looks different in boys and girls — and can even go undetected in quiet, daydreamy kids. If you find yourself constantly reminding, redirecting, or managing emotional meltdowns, it's worth getting clarity and we’d be honored to help.
*Differentiating ADHD from other conditions, such as anxiety, learning disabilities, or mood disorders, can be quite challenging due to overlapping symptoms. Proper identification is crucial for effective treatment and support. Accurate diagnosis often requires comprehensive evaluations, including behavioral assessments, clinical interviews, and input from educators and family members.
