A comprehensive and thoughtful psychological evaluation can help answer many questions about how you or your child is currently functioning. For example, often what looks like ADHD may actually be slow processing speed, anxiety, or something else entirely. The diagnostic picture is often much more complex and nuanced than is usually captured by rating scales and self-reports. A thorough diagnostic evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment planing, and school placement.
