Could ADHD Be Affecting Your Child or Teen?

Common Signs in Children & Teens

ADHD can look different at every age. You may notice:

  • Difficulty staying focused at school or home

  • Forgetting assignments or losing materials

  • Trouble staying organized or following directions

  • Homework taking longer than expected

  • Difficulty starting or completing tasks

  • Restlessness, impulsivity, or frequent frustration

What Testing Can
Help Clarify

A comprehensive evaluation may help provide a clearer understanding of:

  • Attention and concentration challenges

  • Organization and executive functioning

  • Learning strengths and areas of difficulty

  • Behavior and emotional regulation

  • Whether other concerns may be contributing

  • Whether ADHD may explain these challenges

ADHD can affect more than school performance. It may influence how children and teens manage responsibilities, relationships, emotions, and everyday activities. A comprehensive evaluation looks at the whole picture to help families better understand their child’s strengths, challenges, and possible next steps.

A Clear 4-Step Process

“No guesswork. No confusion. Just a clear path forward.”

Step 1: Intake Appointment

Your first step is an intake appointment to discuss your child’s concerns, history, school experiences, and testing goals.

We may also request parent questionnaires or information from teachers and other professionals who know your child well.

Step 2: Schedule Testing

Testing is completed in person at our Lynchburg office.

Your child’s testing session may take several hours, depending on the assessments recommended. We’ll explain what to expect so you and your child can feel prepared.

Step 3: Testing & Report Preparation

Your child or teen will complete the recommended assessments, and any remaining parent, teacher, or self-report questionnaires will be reviewed as part of the evaluation.

Once testing is complete, the clinician will review the results and prepare the written report.

Step 4: Feedback Session

Meet with the clinician to review the results, ask questions, and discuss what the findings may mean for your child.

You’ll also receive recommendations and practical next steps based on your child’s individual strengths and needs.

Want More Detail About the Child & Adolescent ADHD Testing Process?

Your first step is an intake appointment. During this session, we take time to understand your child’s concerns, history, school experiences, and goals for testing.

We will talk about challenges related to attention, organization, follow-through, behavior, learning, or other areas of daily life. We may also ask about your child’s developmental, educational, medical, or mental health history when relevant to the evaluation.

If additional questionnaires, school records, teacher input, or other information would be helpful, we’ll let you know what to complete or provide before testing.

After the intake appointment, we’ll schedule your child’s in-person testing at our Lynchburg office. Testing may be completed in one session or split into multiple sessions, depending on the recommended assessments.
 
Testing sessions may last several hours, so we recommend bringing a snack and drink. Breaks can be taken when needed to help your child stay comfortable and engaged.
 
For child testing, we ask that a parent or guardian remain onsite during the appointment so we can easily communicate if your child needs a break, needs additional support, or testing needs to be adjusted.
 
Continue your child’s regular medications as prescribed unless their healthcare provider or testing clinician has given different instructions. If your child feels unwell on the day of testing, please contact our office so we can determine whether rescheduling is appropriate.

Once testing is complete, your clinician will score, review, and interpret the results along with the information gathered throughout the evaluation.

If the evaluation includes parent questionnaires, teacher forms, school records, or other requested information, completing and returning those promptly helps us keep the report on schedule.

The written report will summarize the findings, explain what they may mean, and provide recommendations based on your child’s individual strengths and needs.

Reports are completed within 30 days after testing is completed.

When the report is ready, we’ll schedule a feedback session to review the results with you.

During this appointment, your clinician will explain the findings, answer your questions, and discuss whether ADHD appears to be part of the overall picture.

You’ll also review recommendations and practical next steps for supporting your child at home, at school, or in other areas where appropriate.

Our goal is for you to leave the feedback session with a clearer understanding of your child’s strengths, challenges, and options moving forward.
