ADHD Testing for Children & Teens in Colorado
Thoughtful, comprehensive evaluations to help your child thrive
Wondering if your child’s struggles go beyond typical behavior?
If your child is constantly distracted, impulsive, disorganized, or falling behind at school, you may be asking, Is this just a phase, or is it ADHD? You’re not alone. At Redwood Psychology, I provide detailed ADHD evaluations for children and adolescents that help families move from confusion to clarity.
Whether your child is struggling academically, socially, or emotionally, a high-quality assessment can help you understand what’s really going on and what to do next.
What ADHD Can Look Like in Children & Teens
ADHD doesn’t always show up as “hyperactivity.” Especially in girls and high-achieving kids, it can be easy to miss. Some signs that may warrant an evaluation include:
Difficulty focusing, following instructions, or completing tasks
Frequent forgetfulness, careless mistakes, or disorganization
Emotional outbursts or trouble regulating frustration
Needing frequent reminders to get things done
Fidgeting, restlessness, or being “always on the go”
Daydreaming or appearing distracted, even with simple tasks
Behavior concerns reported by teachers or caregivers
If you’ve heard comments like, “They're so smart, but they’re not living up to their potential,” an ADHD assessment may be the right next step.
What to Expect from an ADHD Evaluation
I provide evaluations that are both evidence-based and developmentally sensitive. Each assessment includes:
A detailed parent and child interview covering developmental, educational, and medical history
Standardized rating scales from parents and teachers
Performance-based testing of attention and executive functioning
Screening for related concerns like anxiety, depression, or learning challenges
A comprehensive, easy-to-understand report with diagnoses (if applicable) and tailored recommendations
