You may have spent years wondering whether ADHD could help explain difficulties with attention, organization or getting things done. An evaluation gives you a chance to discuss those questions with a clinician and understand what the findings mean for you.
This guide explains adult ADHD testing at Sachs Center, from choosing an appointment to receiving your documents. A focused ADHD evaluation and a broader neuropsychological evaluation are separate services, so it helps to choose the option that fits your questions.
Considering an adult ADHD evaluation
You do not need to arrive certain that you have ADHD. You can bring questions about patterns you have noticed, previous diagnoses, or the effort it takes to manage work, study, relationships and everyday responsibilities.
If you are still exploring, the free adult ADHD screening quiz can be a starting point for reflection. A quiz result is not a diagnosis and does not replace an evaluation.
What online ADHD testing includes
Sachs Center’s focused adult ADHD evaluation takes place by secure video with a licensed clinical psychologist. It includes intake information, research-based questionnaires, a clinical interview, and a discussion of findings and next steps.
Your psychologist considers the information gathered during the evaluation rather than treating a questionnaire score as a diagnosis on its own. A diagnosis is given only if the findings support it.
Appointments are for the location where you will physically attend. Enter your state or country in the booking process to see the appropriate appointment route. Availability depends on the clinician’s authorization to provide care in that location.
How the Sachs Center evaluation process works
Step 1: Choose your evaluation and documents
Start with the booking page. Choose the person’s age group, appointment location, evaluation type and document package, then select an available date and time. Current prices and payment options are shown before you book.
If you want both ADHD and autism assessed, review the combined ADHD and autism evaluation. If you are unsure which service fits your needs, contact our office.
Step 2: Complete intake and meet your psychologist
After booking, you complete intake forms about your history, symptoms and goals, along with standardized rating scales. During the video appointment, your psychologist discusses your experiences and how difficulties affect your daily life.
You can describe both visible challenges and the effort behind coping strategies. Relevant previous records or examples from different stages of life may help you explain what brought you to the evaluation.
Step 3: Discuss findings and next steps
Your psychologist reviews the assessment information and discusses the findings with you. The conversation can include recommendations, support options and whether another type of assessment would help address questions beyond the focused evaluation.
Step 4: Receive the documents you selected
The evaluation includes a diagnostic letter if a diagnosis is given. A detailed clinical report and personal NeuroMap are available through the optional report package. You choose the package during booking; a full report is not automatically included in the letter option.
Focused evaluation or neuropsychological testing?
A focused diagnostic evaluation addresses specific ADHD or autism questions through clinical history, questionnaires and an interview. It is the service described in the guided ADHD and autism booking process.
A neuropsychological evaluation is a separate, broader assessment that can examine cognitive, academic, memory and other areas of functioning. It has its own testing arrangements, schedule and report. Cognitive testing is not automatically part of every focused ADHD appointment.
If your questions concern learning, memory, or documentation for standardized-test or university accommodations, review neuropsychological testing and discuss your needs with the office before booking. The receiving organization’s requirements help determine which assessment and documentation may be appropriate.
Your letter, report and NeuroMap
- Diagnostic letter: A concise document confirming the diagnosis, if one is given, with relevant diagnostic information and your psychologist’s credentials and signature.
- Clinical report: An optional, more detailed record of findings and personalized recommendations.
- Personal NeuroMap: A visual, plain-language companion included with the report package to connect findings with everyday strengths, challenges and practical next steps.
The letter and report options include the same focused evaluation; the document package changes what you receive in writing. Review current package details and prices before choosing.
Documentation requirements vary between employers, schools, healthcare providers and testing organizations. Share the recipient’s requirements before booking. An evaluation or report does not guarantee approval of an accommodation request.
How to compare evaluation options
When comparing services, look at what each appointment actually includes:
- Who conducts the evaluation, and whether they can provide care where you will attend.
- Whether the service addresses ADHD, autism, both, or broader cognitive and learning questions.
- How clinical history, questionnaires and interviews are used.
- Which documents are included and which cost extra.
- Whether the assessment fits any documentation requirements you need to meet.
- How follow-up support and medication consultations are arranged.
You can meet the Sachs Center clinicians and ask our office about the service that fits your goals.
Support after your evaluation
Next steps depend on your findings and priorities. They may include practical strategies, sharing your results with another healthcare professional, or exploring ongoing support.
Sachs Center offers therapy and other support options separately from evaluation pricing. An ADHD evaluation is not a prescription appointment. If you are considering medication, ask the office about a separate consultation with a prescribing clinician.
Frequently asked questions
Is the focused ADHD evaluation the same as neuropsychological testing?
No. The focused evaluation addresses specific diagnostic questions. Neuropsychological testing is a separate, broader service. Ask the office which option fits what you want to understand and any documentation you need.
How long does an adult ADHD evaluation take?
The adult ADHD service page describes a focused two-hour evaluation, with intake forms completed beforehand. Review the appointment details when scheduling. Broader neuropsychological testing follows a different schedule.
Will I receive a written report?
The standard option includes a diagnostic letter if a diagnosis is given. The optional report package adds a detailed clinical report and personal NeuroMap. Current package details are on the booking page.
Does Sachs Center evaluate autism as well?
Yes. There are separate adult autism evaluations and combined ADHD and autism evaluations. Choose the evaluation that matches the questions you want addressed.
Can I attend from my state?
Select where you will physically be during the appointment in the booking process. The available route depends on your location and the clinician’s practice authorization. Contact the office if you are unsure or expect to travel.
Can the documents support an accommodation request?
They may support a request, but the receiving organization sets its own requirements. Check those requirements before booking, especially for standardized examinations or broader learning and cognitive questions.
