ADHD Testing & Assessment
Clear answers. Practical direction. A plan that actually makes sense.
When symptoms feel confusing, overlapping, or hard to explain, psychological testing can help bring clarity.
At 3Rivers Therapists, we provide focused ADHD testing for adults and children ages 8+ to help you better understand attention, focus, and executive functioning challenges—and guide clear, informed next steps.
Psychological Testing for Adults
ADHD testing for adults can be especially helpful when challenges have been long-standing or difficult to fully understand through therapy alone.
Testing for adults may help clarify concerns related to:
Attention, focus, and executive functioning
Organization, follow-through, and time management
Mental overwhelm or difficulty prioritizing
Emotional regulation or frustration tolerance
Limited progress in therapy and a need for more targeted insight
Workplace or academic accommodations
Understanding long-standing patterns that impact relationships or work
Our adult ADHD assessments are focused and efficient, designed to provide clarity without the need for a full comprehensive psychological evaluation.
Psychological Testing for Children (Ages 8+)
For children, ADHD testing can help parents and caregivers better understand why a child may be struggling—and what supports will actually help.
Testing for children ages 8+ may be appropriate when there are concerns about:
Attention, focus, or impulsivity
Executive functioning skills (organization, planning, memory)
Behavioral challenges at home or school
Difficulty following directions or completing tasks
A need for documentation to support school accommodations
Our child assessments are developmentally appropriate, supportive, and focused on both strengths and areas of need.
What Our Testing Includes
Our evaluations use a whole-person approach, often combining:
Attention and executive functioning testing
Cognitive screening (as it relates to attention and processing)
Behavioral and rating scales (parent, teacher, and/or self-report)
We integrate testing data with interviews, history, and rating scales to provide clear diagnoses and practical recommendations.
