Child ADHD testing

ADHD spans focus, effort, emotions, and self-regulation. Each child I have tested is very smart but struggling to show what they know. This can lead to frustration for both parents and teachers, as well as the children themselves. To begin addressing ADHD, the first step is to have the child undergo a professional evaluation by someone who is knowledgeable about the complexities of diagnosing ADHD.
