ADHD testing should be taken very seriously and only be done by top notch clinicians. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is characterized by difficulties with inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. There are many other mental disorders that share symptoms in common, so differential diagnosis is very important. Psychological testing performed by a licensed psychologist is the key to ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
Jones-Wood Psychological Associates, Inc. performs ADHD testing for adults, adolescents, and children ages 8 years and older.
Depending on the age of the client, our testing battery typically includes:
- Clinical interview
- IQ testing
- Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV)
- Achievement testing
- Wide Range Achievement Test-Fifth Edition (WRAT-5)
- Attention testing
- Conners’ Continuous Performance Test-Third Edition (CPT-3)
- Self-report inventory or parent-report inventory of specific ADHD symptoms
- Other effort or neuropsychological tests are added, as needed
These evaluations typically involve 2 to 5 hours of face-to-face contact. If a written report is requested, perhaps for a 504 plan or IEP for school or testing accommodations for college, we can certainly provide this.
Our clinicians that conduct ADHD testing include:
Arcangela Wood, PsyD & Lynn Luna Jones, PhD, ABPP
