ADHD Assessment

Your child is bright—but daily life tells a different story. Unfinished assignments. Emotional outbursts. Teacher concerns. Constant movement. The frustration is growing—and so are your questions.

At Global Psychoeducational Solutions (GPS), we provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children that are school-compliant, evidence-based, and rooted in clinical best practices. Whether you’re seeking a child ADHD assessment in Chicago or trusted ADHD testing in Florida, we help families move from uncertainty to clarity—with compassion and precision.

What Is ADHD Testing for Children?

ADHD is more than hyperactivity. It affects a child’s focus, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and decision-making—and shows up differently in every child.

A comprehensive ADHD evaluation explores how your child processes attention, manages time, and regulates behavior across settings. At GPS, our assessments include:

  • Validated parent and teacher questionnaires (e.g., Conners 4, Vanderbilt)
  • One-on-one testing with a licensed school psychologist
  • Cognitive assessments targeting executive functioning, working memory, and processing speed
  • Screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, learning differences, or emotional dysregulation

 

We don’t rush to diagnose. We gather meaningful data, evaluate context, and look at the full picture before making any conclusions.

Signs It May Be Time for an ADHD Evaluation

  • Frequent distraction, fidgeting, or off-task behavior
  • Difficulty starting or finishing basic tasks
  • Impulsive comments or actions in class
  • Emotional outbursts or mood swings
  • Trouble following directions, even when seemingly attentive
  • Report card comments like “not working to potential” or “bright but unfocused”
  • Homework avoidance or frequent meltdowns over routine tasks
 

These behaviors may suggest ADHD—or they may stem from other processing or learning challenges. A formal evaluation helps clarify what’s really going on.

Why ADHD Evaluations Matter

There’s a big difference between guessing and knowing.

A research-based, educationally grounded evaluation can:

  • Explain your child’s needs clearly to teachers and school teams
  • Support accommodations (e.g., extra time, movement breaks, testing supports)
  • Identify related executive functioning or processing issues
  • Prevent mislabeling and preserve your child’s self-esteem
  • Help school teams and families respond with understanding—not frustration

 

Most importantly, it gives you a path forward based on facts, not assumptions.
