ADHD, Dyslexia, and Adult Autism Screenings in South Portland, ME
ADHD Testing
Our certified clinicians will use simultaneous testing to diagnose ADHD. This procedure includes standardized assessment tools, self-reporting, and a medical history interview to determine if ADHD is present; including any differential diagnosis. Our testing process is preferred by Primary Care physicians, as it looks at Five Main Clusters of Executive Functioning when diagnosing for ADHD
- Organizing and Activating
- Sustaining Attention and Concentration,
- Sustaining Energy and Effort,
- Managing Affective Interference
- Utilizing Working Memory and Accessing Recall.
