Thorough, DSM-5-TR-based ADHD assessments for children, teens and adults, focused on an accurate diagnosis, with clear documentation when it is needed for school, testing or work.
About 6% of U.S. adults report a current ADHD diagnosis (CDC, 2023), and about 1 in 9 children aged 3–17 has ever been diagnosed (CDC, 2022). Difficulties with attention and focus can also have other causes, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems or learning differences, which is why careful evaluation matters.
Our evaluations aim to answer an honest question: is ADHD, or something else, the best explanation for your difficulties? When a diagnosis is confirmed, our report describes your functional limitations in the detail that schools, testing agencies and employers typically need. Each organization has its own requirements, and some require psychoeducational testing; we will review them with you and coordinate testing through licensed psychologists when needed.
ADHD diagnosis per DSM-5-TR requires:
This is a summary only. A formal diagnosis requires a clinical evaluation.
When a diagnosis is confirmed, our documentation can support accommodation requests to the following. Each organization sets its own documentation requirements and makes its own decisions.
SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, bar exams, medical licensing boards (USMLE, COMLEX), and professional certification exams
College and university disability services for extended time, reduced-distraction testing, note-taking support, and priority registration
504 plans and IEPs for classroom accommodations and support services. The school team decides eligibility, and schools must consider outside evaluations.
Documentation for reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Accommodations are intended to remove barriers created by a disability rather than to provide an advantage. Research on how well specific accommodations, such as extended time, work for people with ADHD is mixed. Testing agencies decide on accommodations case by case, based on documented functional limitations.
Unhurried, comprehensive assessments with Dr. Malik, a triple board-certified psychiatrist. We take the time to understand your complete picture and provide thorough documentation, and we are available during practice hours to answer questions about your report.
If treatment includes a stimulant or another controlled medication, we follow current DEA telemedicine and Pennsylvania prescribing requirements, including checking the Pennsylvania Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. Current federal telemedicine flexibilities run through December 31, 2026, and some prescriptions may require an in-person visit. Some ADHD medications remain in short supply; we help patients find alternatives when a prescription can't be filled.
ADHD presents differently in different individuals. Our evaluations assess for all three presentations.
Difficulty sustaining attention, following through on tasks, organizing activities, and avoiding careless mistakes. Often appears to not listen or loses things frequently.
Fidgeting, difficulty remaining seated, talking excessively, difficulty waiting turns, and interrupting others. Often feels restless or "driven by a motor."
Meets criteria for both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive presentations. In children seen in clinics, the combined presentation is the most common; in adults, inattentive symptoms often predominate.
