ADHD & Executive Functioning Assessment

Supporting Children, Teens, and Adults with Insight and Clarity

Whether you’re a parent noticing your child’s struggles with focus, a teen overwhelmed by school demands, or an adult facing challenges with organization, time management, or follow-through, an accurate and thoughtful assessment can make all the difference.

At Arcadian Therapeutic Services, we provide comprehensive evaluations for ADHD and executive functioning that offer more than a diagnosis—they offer a roadmap toward meaningful support.

  • What the Evaluation Involves

    Each assessment includes:

    A semi-structured clinical interview exploring attention, impulsivity, working memory, and emotional regulation

    Behavioral observation in session

    When applicable, multi-rate reports gather input from parents, loved ones, teachers, and the self.

    Use of updated, evidence-based tools to ensure accurate results and helpful recommendations

Support Beyond the Diagnosis

Clear Recommendations for School, Work, and Daily Functioning

Our assessments don’t stop with identification. We provide individualized written recommendations and collaborate with other professionals to support ongoing success in real-world settings.

  • Functional strategies for daily tasks such as managing time, staying organized, or maintaining focus

  • Collaboration with medication providers to support coordinated care and informed treatment decisions

Support for Children and Adolescents

For youth, we provide documentation and strategies to advocate for success in school environments:

  • Recommendations for 504 Plans or IEPs, including accommodations such as extended time, reduced-distraction settings, and behavior supports

  • Documentation to support standardized testing accommodations (e.g., ACT, SAT, AP exams)

  • Coordination with schools, when requested

  • Parent guidance for improving executive functioning at home
