Adult ADHD Assessments

Neurodivergent-Affirming Evaluations

I offer ADHD evaluations that aim to support and empower neurodivergent individuals. As an ADHDer myself, I practice and assess according to the key principles of the Neurodiversity movement:

Intersectionality, Respecting autonomy, Presuming competence, Rejecting neuro-normativity, Reframing expectations, Promoting self advocacy, Prioritizing lived experience, Nurturing positive self identity, Adapting systems and environments, and Honoring all forms of communication.

Neurodivergent-Affirming Assessments:

Who this is for:

This assessment is specifically for adults (18+) who believe they may have an ADHD neurotype. I offer three (3) options for those seeking validation of their neurodivergence. 

The assessment is not a comprehensive psychological assessment, which means it does not assess for cognitive capacity/intellectual disability, specific learning disabilities, mood, personality, or trauma. If you are seeking further or additional assessment, your options can be discussed.

Basic Description of the Process with Timeline:

Prior to the first session, based on our consultation call: I gather and send a few screeners for Autism and ADHD and request that they are completed (I often use the following screeners: CATQ, ASRS, BDEFS-Short Form).

During our first session, we will go over Informed Consent and anything additional worth asking about from the consult call. I will get collateral & ROI during the first session.

During the sessions following the initial intake, I utilize the BDEFS in-session and proceed to doing the DIVA-5 Interview together with the client.

After I’ve written my report, I schedule a final session with the client and we discuss the results & recommendations.
