Reasons for ADHD Testing

You might spot the symptoms in yourself or someone you love, or our therapists may recognize it when you come in for therapy. If an individual displays symptoms of hyperactivity, inattentiveness, or impulsivity, we often want to take a closer look. Signs and symptoms of ADHD could look like,

  • Risk-taking
  • Making careless mistakes
  • Misplacing items regularly
  • Trouble completing tasks
  • Fidgeting and squirming
  • Easily distracted
  • Difficulty staying focused
  • Shortened attention span
  • Issues with organization

What Goes into ADHD Screening

While it’s important that you see a regular doctor or pediatrician to rule out possible health problems that could also be causing your symptoms, after this, we will schedule an ADHD screening. This detailed screening involves interviewing the individual, asking a variety of questions about their symptoms. We may also need those close to you including family members, coworkers, or teachers to share their input. Psychological and behavioral tests will also be performed to measure behaviors. Getting a definitive ADHD diagnosis takes time and may require coming into our practice for several visits.

If you or worried that you or your child’s symptoms could be warning signs of ADHD, call Behavioral Solutions of Texas in Humble, TX, at (281) 713-9004 to schedule an evaluation with our team today.
