ADHD Assessments · Stamford & Greenwich, CT
An assessment is a chance to understand what's actually getting in the way. Whether you're wondering about your child, your teen, or yourself, the goal is a clear answer about ADHD, a careful look at what else might be contributing, and practical recommendations you can use at home, at school, or at work.
Is an Assessment Right for You?
There's no single sign that means "ADHD." Most families and adults come in because the same struggles keep showing up, despite real effort.
How It Works
Each assessment is tailored to the person and the questions you're bringing. Here's the general shape of the process.
A 20-minute call to talk through what you're noticing and whether an assessment is the right starting point.
A detailed conversation about current challenges, developmental and school history, and what's already been tried. For children, this begins with parents.
Standardized rating scales completed by you and, when helpful, by teachers or others who know the person well.
Standardized measures of attention, executive functioning, and related skills, chosen to fit the questions we're trying to answer.
We meet to go over the findings together, followed by a written report with diagnosis and recommendations.
What You'll Leave With
ADHD rarely shows up on its own. Anxiety, learning differences, sleep, and stress can all look like attention problems, or sit alongside them. A good assessment sorts through that, so the recommendations fit the person rather than just the label.
For families, that often means a clearer conversation with school. For adults, it often means finally having language for something you've lived with for years.
Common Questions
No referral is needed. You can reach out directly to schedule a free consultation.
I am an out-of-network provider and can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Coverage for evaluations varies by plan, so it's worth calling your insurer to ask about out-of-network psychological testing benefits.
Not necessarily. If the original evaluation was recent and thorough, a consultation may be the better starting point. A new evaluation can help when the picture has changed, when anxiety or learning differences may be part of what's going on, or when school needs updated documentation.
It depends on the questions you have. If you need clarity about what's going on, or documentation for school, an assessment usually comes first. If the diagnosis is already clear and you need support, therapy or parent guidance may be the better place to start. We can sort this out together in the free consultation.
