ADHD Evaluations for Children & Adults

Vann Counseling & Consulting is one of the few providers in Florida and Georgia providing ADHD Diagnostic Evaluations and Screenings utilizing QbCheck computerized testing via Telehealth for a better view of ADHD. 

There is no single test to diagnose ADHD. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to establish a diagnosis, rule out other causes, and determine the presence or absence of co-existing conditions. We have intentionally chosen specific assessments for their neurodiversity affirming, non-pathologizing approach to understanding, assessing and describing ADHD and the the core executive functioning pieces that are often present. Additionally, we utilize standardized behavior rating scales from the client, parents/caregivers, teachers and other collateral sources to further inform the evaluation. 

QbCheck is an FDA cleared and widely used objective test that measures core ADHD symptoms: activity, attention and impulsivity. QbCheck provides objective data about motion and attention states that separates ADHD clients from non-ADHD clients. Objective testing can be an important part of the diagnostic triangle which also includes a thorough clinical interview and rating scales. This test can now be done via telehealth on your own computer using facial recognition technology. Furthermore, the QbCheck can be performed repeatedly, comparing a client’s performance after taking a certain medication or dosage of medication against the baseline test or subsequent test(s). 

While Continuous Performance Tests like the QbCheck are not diagnostic (and not always necessary for diagnosis), they do help give us a clearer picture of what someone's ADHD symptoms might look like particularly for clients with more classically inattentive presentations that may be more difficult to assess, clients with co-occurring diagnoses such as anxiety or trauma, or for minority populations that are historically underrepresented. 

This option is best for those:

• Looking for a comprehensive evaluation for understanding how ADHD may be impacting their academic, occupational, emotional, and relational functioning
• Needing academic, high stakes testing, or work accommodations 
• Desiring confirmatory diagnosis for the purpose of medication management
