ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) can affect attention, organization, impulse control, emotional regulation, and school performance. Symptoms may look different at home and school, and not every child appears noticeably "hyper."

ADHD affects appproximately 6 million children in the U.S. but symptoms and severity vary widely.

A comprehensive evaluations considers your child's history, learning, behavior, and 

functioning across settings. This helps clarify whether their difficulties may be related to 

ADHD, executive functioning, learning differences, anxiety, or another concern.

We understand that testing can feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to be supportive, clear, and comfortable for both you and your child.

A comprehensive evaluation uses information from multiple sources, including parent and teacher input, records, observations, and individualized testing, to understand your child's needs accurately as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 

We begin with a supportive consultation to understand your concerns, explain the evaluation process, and help you determine the next step.

Your child works one-on-one with a psychologist through carefully selected activities that evaluate attention, executive functioning, learning, and emotional regulation.

We gather information from parents, teachers, school records, and testing to understand how your child functions across different settings.

You'll receive clear feedback, a detailed written report, and personalized recommendations for home and school, including guidance related to IEP or 504 planning when appropriate. 

While this page focuses on children, ADHD can also affect teens and adults. We offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults who are experiencing ongoing difficulties with focus, organization, or impulsivity and want clarity and guidance moving forward, including adults in Bakersfield and throughout Kern County.
