A Whole-Child Approach
When I evaluate a child for ADHD, my goal is to look beyond the surface behaviors. I truly understand the whole child—their strengths, challenges, environment, and unique way of thinking. ADHD affects attention, self-regulation, and executive functioning, but it also impacts confidence, learning, and relationships.
Through an evidence-based evaluation, I help parents gain clarity on what’s driving their child’s behaviors so that together, we can create a plan that supports growth, balance, and success at home and at school.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Care
ADHD evaluations include detailed parent and teacher questionnaires, developmental history, behavioral observations, and assessments of intelligence, academic skills, and memory. Medical history, nutrition, sleep, and emotional factors that may influence focus and behavior are also investigated.
Once we understand the full picture, we will develop an individualized treatment plan together that may include behavioral strategies, school accommodations, parent coaching, and—if appropriate—medication management or natural supports. My goal is to empower families with tools that improve attention, self-regulation, and overall well-being, while helping children build confidence and resilience.
