ADHD Assessment and Testing
Your Initial assessment is performed by a Licensed Professional Counselor, who incorporates the latest research and up-to-date guidelines in ADHD. AAO provides diagnostic evaluation in a convenient and thorough manner, utilizing empirically based tools and evidenced based data.
How does ADHD Testing work?
ADHD Testing starts with a formal diagnostic interview to learn more about you, your familial and health history, and the current concerns you’re experiencing in your life. In addition to the interview process, you’ll complete a series of computerized tests. We know, tests may sound scary or stressful, but the staff at AAO promise to make the process as painless as possible for you. A series of in depth questionnaires are also administered because no single test can determine an accurate diagnosis of ADHD. The ADHD Testing process takes about 2-3 hours, and can be done in person at our office in Oklahoma City.
It is not uncommon for people with ADHD to have difficulty with memory recall, so it is helpful for partners, family, and friends to be contacted to help collect as much data as possible. Your licensed professional counselor will also want to understand what symptoms you display and experience in your everyday life (ex. Difficulty paying bills on time, disinterest in your significant other, difficulty paying attention to important details, missing appointments, difficulty in school) it is also helpful for immediate family and close friends to be involved in this part of the process.
