ADHD EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT
WHAT IT IS
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neuro-developmental condition that affects attention, focus, impulse control, and organization. It’s not simply about being “distracted” — ADHD influences how the brain manages motivation, memory, and time. When left unrecognized, it can cause daily frustration, stress, and low self-esteem in both academic and professional settings.
TREATMENT
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation that explores symptoms, behavior patterns, and lifestyle factors. A tailored care plan may include:
- Diagnostic assessment: Clinical interviews and standardized testing to confirm ADHD and rule out other conditions.
- Medication management: Stimulant or non-stimulant medications that balance dopamine and norepinephrine to improve focus and impulse control.
- Therapy integration: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or coaching to develop organization, time management, and coping strategies.
- Lifestyle & structure support: Sleep hygiene, exercise, and diet adjustments to enhance daily focus and energy.
- Skill-building strategies: Tools for planning, productivity, and emotional regulation designed for long-term success.
