ADHD Evaluations for Adults & Adolescents
Evidence-based psychological evaluations designed to provide diagnostic clarity, practical recommendations, and documentation to support treatment planning, accommodations, or medication management. Whether you're seeking answers for yourself or your child, the goal is to understand how attention and executive functioning are impacting everyday life and identify the most appropriate next steps.
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach
Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations remain the gold standard for many referral questions and are invaluable when extensive cognitive testing is clinically indicated. However, in my clinical experience, they are not always medically necessary to determine whether someone meets diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
Many of the adults I evaluate are physicians, attorneys, executives, graduate students, and other high-achieving professionals who have developed effective strategies to compensate for their symptoms over many years. As a result, they often perform well on standardized cognitive testing completed in a quiet, structured environment. Yet their day-to-day lives may tell a very different story, with persistent difficulties managing competing priorities, organization, time management, deadlines, and other executive functioning demands.
Rather than relying solely on performance during several hours of cognitive testing, my evaluations integrate a comprehensive clinical interview, developmental history, standardized rating scales, record review when appropriate, and evidence-based clinical judgment. Every evaluation is tailored to the referral question, providing a thorough assessment while avoiding unnecessary testing when it is unlikely to meaningfully change the diagnostic conclusions or recommendations.

What the Evaluation Includes
Each evaluation is individualized based on your history, current concerns, and referral question. Depending on your needs, the evaluation may include:
Comprehensive clinical interview
Developmental, educational, and medical history
Standardized ADHD and executive functioning rating scales
Review of previous evaluations and relevant records (when available)
Collateral information when appropriate
Diagnostic impressions and differential diagnosis
Individualized treatment and accommodation recommendations
A comprehensive written report, typically completed within 7–10 business days after all evaluation components have been received
Most comprehensive ADHD evaluations range from $800–$1,200, depending on the complexity of the referral question, records reviewed, and any additional assessment measures that may be needed. If you choose to proceed, the consultation fee is credited toward the total cost of your evaluation.

Any accommodation forms or documentation requirements from your school, employer, or testing agency
Contact information for someone who knew you as a child, if collateral input is appropriate

ADHD Evaluation FAQ
Do I need a full neuropsychological evaluation?
Not always. Many ADHD referral questions can be answered without hours of cognitive testing. If more extensive testing is clinically indicated, I will tell you during the consultation.
Can the report be shared with my prescriber?
Yes. I don’t prescribe medication, but with your written authorization the report can be shared with your physician or psychiatric provider to support treatment planning.
Will the evaluation support accommodations?
When clinically appropriate, the report includes recommendations and documentation for school, workplace, or testing accommodations. Some testing agencies have specific requirements, so please share them at your consultation.
I don’t live in Pennsylvania. Can I still be evaluated?
Yes, if you live in one of the 43+ PSYPACT-participating states.
Do you take insurance?
Keystone Teleassessments is a private-pay practice.
