Comprehensive ADHD Testing Near You

For families searching for a reliable ADHD assessment near them, our Florida clinics provide expert evaluations through the following:

  • Who we evaluate: We will see adults and children ages 8 and older.
  • The process: Our testing generally involves two one-hour sessions featuring an extensive clinical interview, alongside both subjective and objective measures. We will also have a feedback session upon completion to discuss your results and our recommendations.
  • The outcome: Our diagnosis helps to distinguish ADHD from other conditions with similar symptoms and from other co-occurring conditions like anxiety or learning disabilities. This clarity is helpful for effective symptom management, targeted treatments, and creating long-term success at school or work.

Behavioral and Personality Assessments

Uncovering the underlying cause of emotional and behavioral challenges is critical to starting your healing journey. Our behavioral and personality assessments are designed to identify these challenges at their root so you can move forward with confidence:

  • Who we evaluate: We will assess adults and children ages 6 and older.
  • The process: Our licensed psychologists will gather information on your unique personality traits, emotional functioning, and thought patterns through clinical interviews.
  • The outcome: Our assessment finishes with a dedicated feedback session to discuss your results. You will receive clear diagnostic impressions and a customized roadmap for long-term treatment.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessments

We offer specialized autism evaluations designed for children to help you secure the objective data you need. Our comprehensive evaluation process enables us to deeply understand your child’s unique needs, challenges, and strengths:

  • Who we evaluate: We’ll evaluate children ages 6 and older.
  • The process: We typically have at least three assessment sessions. During these visits, our licensed psychologists conduct extensive interviews with parents or caregivers, review developmental history, and perform direct behavioral observations.
  • The outcome: Our process of identifying autism early helps promote healthy development and provides the essential documentation required for specialized educational support at school.

Clarifying Your Needs and Our Services

Our practice has been providing ethical, transparent care since 1982, taking the necessary time to evaluate and create treatment plans for our patients. Psychological testing provides a diagnosis using standardized tools. In contrast, a psychiatric evaluation is a medical assessment used for diagnosis and treatment planning, which may include recommendations for medication when appropriate.

If your specific needs fall outside our clinical scope, we are honest about it up front to save your family time, money, and unnecessary frustration. Please note that our clinics do not currently offer extensive neuropsychological testing, testing solely for academic problems, forensic or court-ordered evaluations, and custody evaluations. Our goal is to point you toward the most appropriate care available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Psychological testing can be helpful when there are questions about diagnosis, previous treatments haven’t been effective, or you need documentation for accommodations or services. 

Many insurance plans cover psychological testing when it’s deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider to inquire about your benefits for psychological assessment.

For children, it’s best to explain testing in simple, non-threatening terms. You might say they’ll engage in different activities, such as answering questions, solving puzzles, and completing tasks, to help understand how their mind works best.

Be sure they get adequate sleep the night before and eat a nutritious meal before the appointment. We strive to make the testing experience comfortable and even enjoyable for children.
