Structured Diagnostic Evaluations for Attention & Executive Functioning Concerns

Structured Diagnostic Evaluations for Attention & Executive Functioning Concerns
Evaluations are designed to assist physicians, psychiatric providers, therapists, and institutions in determining whether symptoms are best explained by ADHD, autism-related traits, anxiety, trauma-related factors, mood conditions, sleep disruption, or overlapping clinical presentations.
The focus is diagnostic precision to support informed treatment planning and medical decision-making.

For convenience, structured referral information sheets are available below. Each document is tailored to the specific referral context.

When Referral Is Appropriate

Diagnostic Clarification & Behavioral Health Clearance

When diagnosis is uncertain, prior treatment response has been inconsistent, or formal documentation is required for clinical decision-making.

Executive Functioning Concerns

Persistent difficulties with organization, sustained attention, planning, task completion, or memory that impair academic or occupational functioning.

Adolescent & Adult Evaluations

Structured assessments appropriate for teens, college students, and adults requiring differential diagnosis or formal documentation.

Diagnostic Clarification & Behavioral Health Clearance

Supporting Physicians & Institutions with Comprehensive Evaluations

Evaluations are structured to assist providers with clear diagnostic analysis and practical documentation.

Reports may support:

  • Treatment planning decisions
  • Medication consultation and diagnostic confirmation
  • Academic or workplace accommodations
  • Pre-surgical psychological clearance
  • Complex or unclear clinical presentations
Each evaluation includes:
Medication decisions remain with the treating medical provider.

Collaborative Clinical Process

This practice functions as a diagnostic consultation service. Referrals are evaluated within a structured framework designed to answer specific clinical questions rather than provide generalized impressions.

With appropriate patient authorization:

  • Concise summaries may be shared with referring providers
  • Reports are structured to assist treatment planning
  • Clarification of diagnostic reasoning is available when needed

Providers are welcome to contact the office to discuss case appropriateness prior to referral.

What the Evaluation Answers

Is ADHD the Primary Condition?

Clarifies whether attentional symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD versus anxiety-related inattention, trauma-related concentration disruption, mood-related cognitive slowing, or sleep-related impairment.

Why Has Treatment Not Helped?

Assesses whether prior non-response reflects misdiagnosis, overlapping conditions, executive functioning deficits, or neurodevelopmental factors.

What Documentation Is Needed?

Provides structured written reports appropriate for medical decision-making, academic accommodations, or workplace support when clinically indicated.

Diagnostic Clarification & Behavioral Health Clearance
