ADHD Evaluation - Standard
Comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessment
If you've struggled with focus, organization, follow-through, or time management — but you're not sure if it's ADHD or just how you're wired — an ADHD evaluation can give you answers.
At Serenity Space, we offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations designed to provide diagnostic clarity. We assess attention, executive functioning, impulse control, and how ADHD patterns show up in your daily life. Whether you're seeking a diagnosis for the first time or need updated assessment for medication management, we're here to help.
What is an ADHD Evaluation?
An ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive psychological assessment that determines whether you meet criteria for ADHD and identifies how it affects you specifically. The evaluation includes:
Clinical interview — Detailed history of symptoms, onset, and impact
Standardized testing — Evidence-based measures to objectively assess attention, executive function, and impulsivity
Behavioral observation — How ADHD patterns show up in conversation and task-based activities
Written report — Diagnostic findings and practical recommendations
An ADHD evaluation is not ongoing therapy. It's a one-time comprehensive assessment.
Who This Is For
This evaluation is ideal if you:
Suspect you have ADHD but haven't been formally assessed

Need clinical documentation for school, work accommodations, or insurance

What to Expect
The Process
1. Pre-Evaluation Intake You'll fill out a brief questionnaire about your symptoms, medical history, and what you need the evaluation for.

Your ADHD symptoms and when they started
How ADHD shows up in your work, relationships, school, and daily life
Your medical and medication history
Family history of ADHD or other conditions
What's been tried before (medication, therapy, strategies)
3. Standardized Testing (15–30 minutes) You'll complete objective measures that assess attention, executive function, and impulse control. These are validated tests used by psychologists nationwide.
4. Written Report (within 3–5 business days) You'll receive a comprehensive report that includes:
Diagnostic findings
Summary of test results
How ADHD affects your specific functioning

What Happens After?
Once you have your diagnosis:
If ADHD is confirmed:
Discuss medication management with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist
Consider therapy (especially DBT or CBT for executive function and emotional regulation)
Explore workplace accommodations or school support services
Implement organizational and time-management strategies
If ADHD is not confirmed:
We may identify other factors (anxiety, depression, sleep issues, learning differences)
We can recommend appropriate treatment for what we find
You'll have clarity on what's actually going on — which is valuable
We're happy to discuss therapy or coaching after your evaluation if that feels right for you.
Common Questions
Q: How long does the whole process take?
A: The evaluation itself is 75–90 minutes. You'll get your written report within 3–5 business days.
Q: Will I get a diagnosis?
A: Yes. If you meet criteria for ADHD, we'll document that in your report. If you don't meet criteria, we'll discuss what we found instead.
Q: Can I bring someone with me?
A: Generally, we recommend coming alone so you can speak freely. If you have accessibility needs, we can discuss arrangements.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Bring any previous psychological evaluations, school records (if applicable), medical records, or medication history you have. These help us understand your complete picture.
Q: Can I use this for school accommodations?
A: Yes. Our evaluation report can be submitted to your school's disability services office to request testing accommodations, reduced course load, or other supports.
Q: What about medication?
A: We provide evaluation and diagnostic clarity, but we don't prescribe medication. Your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist can discuss medication options based on our findings.
Q: I've been diagnosed before. Do I need another evaluation?
A: If you were diagnosed years ago, an updated evaluation can be useful for medication adjustment or clarification. We can discuss what would be most helpful in a brief phone call.
