Why Seek an ADHD Evaluation?​

Getting tested for ADHD can bring clarity and direction after years of frustration. With a diagnosis, tailored interventions can be put in place to support your unique strengths and challenges, empowering you to thrive at home, school, or work. You may benefit from an ADHD evaluation if you or your child experience:

• Difficulty staying focused or completing tasks

• Restlessness or feeling “on the go”

• Forgetfulness or disorganization

• Impulsive decisions or behaviors

• Struggles in school, work, or relationships​​

What to Expect in the Process

An ADHD assessment at Fircrest Behavioral Health is a thorough evaluation that combines interviews, observations, and standardized tools to gain a holistic view of ADHD symptoms. 

Our ADHD evaluations typically include:

• A detailed clinical interview and developmental history

• Observations and behavior checklists

• ADHD rating scales and questionnaires

• Consideration of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or learning challenges

This approach allows us to develop a full understanding of both the difficulties and strengths that come with ADHD.

For Children, Teens, and Adults

ADHD doesn’t look the same for everyone. While often identified in childhood, many teens and adults continue to experience symptoms that affect school, work, or relationships. Fircrest provides ADHD assessments across the lifespan, helping children, adolescents, and adults better understand themselves and find the right support.

Next Steps After an Assessment

After your evaluation, we’ll review the results together and outline recommendations. This may include therapy, skill-building strategies, referrals for medication management, or accommodations at school or work. Most importantly, we’ll collaborate on a plan that’s realistic and supportive for your unique needs.​
