Areas we evaluate
- ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Dyscalculia
- Dysgraphia

Adult Learning Disability and ADHD Evaluations
Information for adults seeking Learning Disability and ADHD Evaluations, diagnosis, treatment support, or documentation for accommodations.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, organization, self-control, and executive functioning. While ADHD often begins in childhood, many adults discover it later—after years of feeling disorganized, overwhelmed, or “always behind.”
ADHD is not caused by poor parenting or lack of effort. It is linked to brain-based differences and genetics. With the right strategies, supports, and accommodations, adults with ADHD often see major improvements in productivity, emotional regulation, and quality of life.
While once labeled as ADD vs. ADHD, today ADHD is the recognized diagnosis and includes three presentation types:
Predominantly Inattentive Type
- Misses details / careless mistakes
- Difficulty sustaining attention
- Seems not to listen
- Doesn’t follow through on instructions
- Disorganization
- Avoids sustained mental effort
- Loses things
- Easily distracted
- Forgetful in daily activities
Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Type
- Fidgets/squirms
- Difficulty staying seated
- Restless
- Difficulty being quiet
- “Driven by a motor”
- Talks excessively
- Blurts answers
- Difficulty waiting
- Interrupts or intrudes
Combined Type
- Meets criteria for both inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive patterns.
K-12 Learning Disability and ADHD Evaluations
Information for families seeking Learning Disability and ADHD Evaluations for children and students.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, self-control, and activity levels. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adolescence and adulthood.
Students with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, following instructions, completing tasks, or managing impulsivity. ADHD is not caused by poor parenting or lack of effort—it is linked to brain-based differences and genetics.
With proper supports, structure, and individualized strategies, students with ADHD can thrive academically and emotionally.

As part of our comprehensive evaluation, we may administer the Qb Check, an FDA-approved objective measure that assesses attention, impulsivity, and activity level. This is used alongside additional standardized and clinical measures to support accurate diagnostic conclusions.
Attention challenges can overlap with learning disabilities and processing differences. That’s why our evaluation assesses reading, writing, math, attention, memory, and processing—so families receive an accurate diagnosis and a complete plan.
