Adult ADHD AssessMents

The ADHD evaluation and assessment spans a few sessions which allows time for a complete clinical overview of the prospective patient and an extensive diagnostic interview. A key part of the ADHD evaluation is a battery of standard assessments that help pinpoint and explore the different aspects of attention and functioning within the individual.

Dr. Sarai is currently providing remote ADHD assessments for adults and current wait time for an intake session is one week.

Based on the results of the testing, a diagnosis can be made and recommendations can determine a treatment plan, and identify the best academic accommodations and placement.
