Get Relief from ADHD Symptoms

Our Maryland ADHD testing is performed by a trained psychologist to evaluate and assess symptoms of ADD/ADHD. The evaluation consists of three sections: 1) A clinical interview to gain a better picture of you or your child’s current problems. 2) A number of questionnaires and assessments that assess for executive functioning and other ADHD symptoms. 3) Finally, all the data is compiled and your therapist will provide you with the results and a plan to help you move forward.
