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
