You may benefit from an evaluation if you’re experiencing symptoms you don’t fully understand, if you’ve been misdiagnosed in the past, if you’re unsure whether ADHD or autism is affecting your life, or if you need clarity for school, work, or medical reasons.

Evaluations typically include a clinical interview, evidence-based testing, questionnaires, and a review of your history. Afterward, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the results along with practical recommendations tailored to your life.

The length varies depending on the type of evaluation. Most assessments range from 2 to 4 hours of testing, plus a feedback session to review results and discuss next steps.
