Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnostic Services
August 30, 2006
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years. It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD.
(Adult Evaluations are also available.)
The principal characteristics of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms appear early in a child’s life. Because many children may have these symptoms -but at a low level – or the symptoms may be caused by another disorder, it is important that the child receive a thorough examination and appropriate diagnosis by a well-qualified professional.
Accurate Diagnosis is the first step in seeking the best treatment options.
Unfortunately some children are diagnosed incorrectly with ADD or ADHD. Our procedure confirms or clarifies a proper and documented diagnosis. Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder has become a popular household label, used to explain behavior problems ranging from normal irresponsibility to serious learning difficulties. Determining whether ADD or ADHD is the cause of a child’s learning or behavior problems is the first step in finding the right solution.
Our goal is to provide accurate diagnosis at an affordable price for families in the Tulsa metro area.
Some insurance companies may cover a portion of these services. However, each circumstance is different. Please speak to our front office in Tulsa (918-745-0095)
for further information.
The primary question we are striving to answer is this: Is this person struggling with ADD or ADHD?
What we do:
1. Diagnostic interviews with the child’s Parents and/or other significant parties.
2. An interview with the child.
3. Collection and scoring of behavior rating scales from significant observers of the child.
4. The use of computerized assessments.
5. Consultation with other significant parties. i.e. physician, minister, teacher, childcare providers.
6. Review of school records, test results and other records.
7. Session with parents and/or individual to explain diagnostic conclusions and treatment options.
8. A written diagnostic report to physician, therapist or school at the permission of the parties.
