| AD(h)D Assessment Package
An affordable yet extensive AD(H)D testing package is
now available in your community!
The key to intervention in any childhood behavioral disorder
is proper assessment. AD(H)D can be over-diagnosed as well
as under-diagnosed and so a COMPREHENSIVE and
MULTI-DICIPLINARY approach to assessment is crucial!
If your child or teenager is experiencing any of the
following, he/she would be a good candidate for an
AD(H)D assessment:
• School problems
• Behavioral problems
• Distractibility
• Inattentiveness
• Hyperactivity
• Impulsivity
• Anger
• Sadness
• Anxiety
• Poor self-esteem
AD(H)D is a set of symptoms represented in 3-7% of
school age children representing 1.6 to 3 million children
in the US. Is it time for you to give your child the help they
need by getting to the bottom of his/her struggles?
Effective treatment interventions are available to ease
their symptoms!
Our Program
Assessment is most effective when using different methods
together and utilizing different disciplines of professionals
working as a team. Our counselors will work with your
family, use proven psychological testing tools, and
leave the final diagnosis to our Child Psychiatrist who has
specialized in this disorder for over 32 years.
The 3 steps to our program include:
- Session #1- 1.5 hours. The first 25 minutes will focus
your child on taking a computerized measure of
attentiveness called the Test of Variable Attention
(T.O.V.A.). This test will feel like a video game to your
child, and has an accuracy rate of detecting AD(H)D
symptoms of up to 86%. The Conner’s Self Report
rating scale for teachers and parents will also be used
by your clinician and this test has a reliability of up
to 90% in assessing AD(H)D symptoms. A full clinical
assessment with the child and his/her parent(s) for
45 - 60 minutes will also be completed during that
session by a Master’s Level Clinician.
- Session #2- 0.5 hours. This follow-up meeting will
allow for a debriefing and presentation of our findings
to the parents including the scored results of the
T.O.V.A. and Conner’s Rating Scale, a report of the
diagnosis (if any) given by our Child Psychiatrist, a set
of interventions specific to your child, and documented
recommendations for further medical, educational,
and/or clinical services if needed.
- Renewal Center will coordinate care with your child’s
Primary Care Physician or Pediatrician by sending a
packet of information to them and consulting with
them as needed.
Is it affordable to have my child tested?
We have done our best to keep the costs low! Cost: $300. We
ask that you pay half of this fee up front when scheduling
either by sending in a check or securing payment with a
credit card. Though most of this cost is reimbursable by
your health insurance company, we will not be billing for
these services. We will provide you with the insurance
codes and a receipt to send in to your insurance company
for reimbursement at your request. |
