Why a full evaluation

Attention problems rarely travel alone

Trouble focusing, finishing, or sitting still can come from ADHD. It can also look like ADHD while coming from a learning difference, anxiety, mood, or a mix of several things at once. A screening questionnaire cannot tell those apart. A comprehensive evaluation can, because it measures cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral functioning together and reads them alongside your history.

That is the standard at Amlea for every ADHD question, whether it is a child who cannot stay in their seat, a teenager whose grades do not match their ability, or an adult who has always wondered.

  • Clinical interview
    Developmental, school, work, and medical history, plus what daily life actually looks like.
  • Standardized testing
    Validated measures of attention-related cognitive skills, academic functioning, and emotional and behavioral functioning.
  • fNIRS observation
    A 30-minute session showing how the prefrontal cortex engages and settles under mental load. Context, not a diagnosis.
  • Written report and feedback
    Findings in plain language, with recommendations for home, school, or work.

Your evaluation day

Five steps, one clear picture

Every evaluation at Amlea follows the same deliberate sequence, so nothing about the day is a surprise.

01

Clinical interview

A collaborative conversation about history, strengths, and the concerns that brought you in.

02

Standardized testing

Evidence-based measures of cognitive, academic, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning, chosen for the question being asked.

03

Break, then fNIRS

A built-in 15-minute pause, then a 30-minute fNIRS session that observes prefrontal activity with a soft near-infrared headband. No electrodes, no gel, no radiation.

04

Integrated feedback

Scores, clinical observations, and fNIRS observations come together in one written report and one plan.

The fNIRS data never diagnoses anything on its own. Every diagnosis comes from validated testing and clinical judgment. Read how the fNIRS layer works.

Common questions

About ADHD testing

Does an ADHD evaluation also check for learning differences?

Yes. Because attention and learning concerns overlap so often, ADHD evaluations at Amlea include academic and cognitive measures, so a learning difference is identified rather than missed. Learning and academic testing.

Can adults be evaluated for ADHD?

Yes. Adult ADHD evaluations follow the same structure, with history and measures appropriate for adults, and reports that work for college disability offices and workplace accommodation requests.

Does the fNIRS headband diagnose ADHD?

No. The fNIRS band only measures blood-flow activity in the prefrontal cortex. What it shows becomes one more layer of context in your report. The diagnosis itself always comes from validated testing and clinical judgment.
