Comprehensive ADHD
Evaluations Now Available
Comprehensive Evaluation, Clear Diagnosis, and Real-World Recommendations
We aren’t only leaders in treating ADHD, we also provide Comprehensive ADHD Assessment/Evaluations appropriately diagnosing ADHD
(Formal diagnostic determination of ADHD is provided when clinical criteria are met and supported by assessment findings.)
When a child is struggling with focus, task completion, emotional regulation, or school performance, families often hear mixed messages:
- “They’ll grow out of it.”
- “It’s just motivation.”
- “It’s anxiety.”
- “It’s behavior.”
An ADHD assessment provides clarity and the proper supports needed at home and in the classroom.
At SpireTHERAPY, our ADHD evaluation process is structured, clinically grounded, and designed not just to diagnose, but to support school collaboration, 504 planning, IEP considerations, and advocacy when needed.
What This Assessment Provides
This is a focused, comprehensive ADHD evaluation conducted by Denise, founder of SpireTHERAPY and SpirED: Thrive After 3, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified ADHD Specialist with extensive training and experience in both assessment and treatment.
The Formal Assessment is designed to:
- Determine whether diagnostic criteria for ADHD are met
- Differentiate ADHD from anxiety, learning differences, or mood concerns
- Identify executive functioning patterns
- Provide formal written documentation for school use
Support 504 plans, IEP meetings, and school collaboration - Offer concrete therapy and home-based recommendations
You leave with more than a diagnosis.
You leave with a roadmap.
