Questions sometimes asked include: Do I have ADHD? Does my child have ADHD? What can I do to help empower my child with regard to their attention? My child’s pediatrician or teachers are concerned about their attention, what recommendations do you have to help?

Neurodevelopmental assessments are curated to meet the needs of the patient and often integrate educational testing, intellectual functioning, and neurodevelopmental (e.g., Autism and ADHD) testing, in a curated fashion to meet the needs of the patient. These assessments are available for children and adults.
