ADHD is understood here as a form of neurodiversity, and a natural variation in how brains process attention, energy, and executive functioning. An ADHD evaluation is not about labeling or “fixing,” but about gaining clarity, understanding strengths and challenges, and identifying meaningful supports.
Evaluations are collaborative and individualized. Different options offer different levels of depth, and we’ll choose an approach that aligns with your goals.
