ADHD/ADD Evaluations

Evaluation And Diagnosis of Symptoms

Our trained professional staff will do the initial evaluation if you think your child is having problems with focusing and attention. We also continue to treat your child after the initial diagnosis has been made.


The ultimate goal in the treatment of ADHD/ADD is to make your child as successful as possible in all aspects of his/her life.



For parents/guardians who have concerns that their child may have ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, or Depression, we ask that you and your child complete an initial questionnaire and a follow-up form. For ADD/ADHD additional evaluation forms will have to be completed by one to two teachers as well.
