Adult ADHD Evaluation
in Florida.
Comprehensive neuropsychological testing for adults 18 and older — with documentation for college, graduate school, and professional licensing exam accommodations. Serving Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, and Broward County.
Adults 18 and older
Is this you?
Many adults with ADHD were never diagnosed as children, or were told they were just “lazy” or “unfocused.” Others were diagnosed years ago but need updated documentation to access academic or professional accommodations. An evaluation provides clarity — a formal diagnosis, a detailed explanation of your cognitive profile, and a written report you can use.
- College and graduate students: struggling academically despite strong effort, or needing documentation for your school’s disability services office.
- Professionals preparing for licensing exams: LSAT, MCAT, GRE, GMAT, and other high-stakes tests require current documentation (typically within 3–5 years) to approve accommodations.
- Adults newly seeking a diagnosis: difficulty sustaining attention, chronic disorganization, or lifelong patterns of procrastination that have never been formally evaluated.
- Adults with outdated testing: prior evaluation older than 3–5 years that no longer meets current documentation standards.
Evaluation components
What your evaluation includes
Clinical Interview
A thorough 60–90 minute intake covering your current concerns, developmental and academic history, family history, prior evaluations, and any relevant medical or psychiatric records.
Standardized Testing
4–6 hours of comprehensive cognitive testing measuring attention, concentration, working memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and intellectual abilities using nationally normed tests.
Behavioral and Emotional Inventories
Self-report rating scales that assess ADHD symptom severity, mood, anxiety, and related factors that can look like — or co-occur with — ADHD.
Comprehensive Written Report
A detailed report including a formal DSM-5-TR diagnosis (when criteria are met), interpretation of test results, specific accommodation recommendations, and treatment suggestions.
Feedback Session
A 30–45 minute session to review your results, discuss the diagnosis, and answer your questions before the final report is delivered.
Accommodation Documentation
Reports are written to meet the documentation standards required by college disability services offices and testing organizations including the College Board, LSAC, AAMC, ETS, and GMAC.
How it works
From first call
to final report
Clinical Interview
60–90 minutes
Review of current concerns, developmental and academic history, and any available prior records. Understanding your full history is essential to an accurate evaluation.
Testing Sessions
4–8 hours total
Standardized cognitive testing, computerized tasks, and self-report inventories. Testing may be completed in one session or split across two shorter sessions to minimize fatigue and maximize accuracy.
Report Writing
7–10 days
Scoring, interpretation, and integration of all findings into a comprehensive written report with DSM-5-TR diagnosis, explanation of results, and specific recommendations.
Feedback Session
30–45 minutes
Review of your results, diagnosis, and accommodation recommendations, with time for your questions. The final report is delivered at or following this session.
The complete evaluation process typically takes 14–21 days from the first session to the final report. Testing organizations can take an additional 7–10 weeks to review accommodation requests — schedule well in advance of any deadlines.
Request AppointmentDocumentation outcomes
Common accommodations the report supports
When ADHD criteria are met, the written report documents the diagnosis and provides specific recommendations. Disability services offices and testing organizations review requests case by case. Common approved accommodations include:
- Extended time: typically 50% or 100% additional time on exams.
- Distraction-reduced testing environment: a separate, quieter room for exams.
- Stop-and-start breaks: the ability to pause the clock during testing without losing time.
- Preferential seating: front-of-class or low-distraction seating arrangements.
- Note-taking assistance: audio recorder, laptop, or smartpen use during lectures.
- Assignment extensions: flexible deadlines for coursework (at the institution’s discretion).
Testing organizations that commonly review accommodation requests based on this type of documentation include the College Board (SAT, AP), ACT, LSAC (LSAT), AAMC (MCAT), ETS (GRE), and GMAC (GMAT).
