ADHD Evaluation & Testing
in Texas, Oregon, and Washington
Difficulty focusing, staying organized, managing time, completing tasks, or controlling impulsive behaviors can affect work, school, relationships, and everyday life. While these challenges can be associated with ADHD, they can also occur with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress, and other conditions. At CopeWell Psychiatry & Wellness, we provide comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations that combine clinical assessment with objective computerized testing to help bring greater clarity to your symptoms and determine appropriate next steps.
What is an ADHD Evaluation & Testing?
An ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to determine whether your symptoms and history are consistent with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. At CopeWell, the evaluation considers your current symptoms, developmental and mental health history, functioning at work or school, relationships, previous treatment, and other factors that may affect attention and executive functioning. We also incorporate QbCheck, an FDA cleared computerized assessment that objectively measures attention, impulsivity, and activity. Results are compared with a normative group based on age and sex at birth and provide additional data that can support clinical decision making. QbCheck does not diagnose ADHD on its own and is interpreted as one part of the comprehensive evaluation.
Your ADHD Evaluation: What to Expect
If ADHD is diagnosed, treatment recommendations may include medication management, behavioral and lifestyle strategies, supportive psychotherapy, or referral for additional services when appropriate.
Comprehensive Clinical Assessment
Your evaluation begins with an in depth discussion of your symptoms, developmental history, mental health and medical history, previous treatment, and how difficulties with attention, organization, impulsivity, or activity affect your everyday functioning.
ADHD Screening & Rating Scales
Standardized ADHD screening tools and rating scales may be used to better understand your symptoms and how frequently they occur. Additional information or records may also be requested when clinically appropriate.
Objective QbCheck Testing
QbCheck provides objective information about attention, impulsivity, and activity through a brief computerized task. The assessment typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and compares your performance with a normative group of individuals of the same age and sex at birth.
Results Review & Treatment Planning
Your QbCheck results are interpreted alongside your clinical interview, rating scales, history, and other relevant information. We will review the findings with you, discuss whether your presentation is consistent with ADHD or whether another condition may better explain your symptoms, and recommend appropriate next steps.
