HOUSTON BRAIN CENTER
ADD/ADHD Assessment

We specialize in providing thorough evaluations for adults and adolescents (ages 10+) experiencing attention difficulties. Our goal is not just to identify a diagnosis but to equip clients with insights into their cognitive, social, emotional, and academic functioning.
Why Choose Us?
We use the Integrated Visual and Auditory (I.V.A.) Continuous Performance Test, combined with clinical expertise and other diagnostic procedures, to deliver accurate and comprehensive assessments for ADD and ADHD.
What to Expect
Our assessments include the following key components:
Clinical Interview: In-depth exploration of attention concerns and their impact.
Developmental History: Essential for determining childhood onset, a hallmark of ADHD.
Standardized Measures: Testing results compared to age-based norms to ensure accuracy.
Collateral Input: Insights from parents, teachers, or spouses (as applicable).
Detailed Report: A formal diagnosis (if applicable) and personalized treatment recommendations.
The process and specific components of the evaluation may vary based on age and case complexity. Diagnosing ADHD often requires disentangling overlapping symptoms from other conditions. We employ multiple sources of objective and subjective data to ensure a reliable, well-rounded clinical picture. For adults, identifying childhood onset can be challenging but is critical to diagnosis.
