I can’t thank you and your team enough for your time, expertise and care. I definitely will be recommending you guys in the future to anyone with similar struggles. For the first time in years, I felt understood and validated.
I’m a school psychologist. I just read one of Dr. Adams’ reports that was written for a child with ADHD, and know how hard practitioners work to write meaningful and useful reports. The recommendations and explanation of ADHD were so clear, concise, and well-written. I found myself rethinking how I might explain ADHD to others, because the explanations were so descriptive and helpful.
I wanted to let all of the team know that my child had a very good experience. They are prone to a lot of anxiety, especially in situations like these. You all did an amazing job making them feel at ease and comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all very much.
You exceeded all expectations. I would enthusiastically recommend your practice to anyone in need of testing services. The space is beautiful. Dr. Adams is so personable and explains complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Everyone I interacted with was very genuine. I’ve been in many healthcare/wellness settings where interactions are very robotic; but our entire experience (from phone calls to the day of testing) made us feel like real people. The report was delivered when Dr. Adams said it would be. The price is very high but 100% with every last cent. We are very grateful for the personalized attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are common questions about our comprehensive diagnostic evaluations offered in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, with offices in Wayzata and Cathedral Hill.
What is the difference between ADHD and ADD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the current clinical term used to describe a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, self-control, or impulse regulation, and other executive functions essential for everyday life. ADHD can affect both children and adults and presents differently from one person to another.
Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) is an older term that was commonly used to describe individuals who primarily struggled with attention and focus without noticeable hyperactivity. As research advanced, clinicians recognized that attention difficulties and hyperactivity exist along a spectrum and are part of the same underlying condition. For this reason, ADD is no longer a separate diagnosis.
Today, what was once called ADD is understood as the predominantly inattentive presentation of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The updated terminology reflects a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of how the condition affects the brain, while still acknowledging that many individuals and families continue to use the term ADD because it remains familiar and meaningful.
Regardless of the term used, ADHD or ADD refers to the same core challenges involving attention, executive functioning, and self-regulation. A comprehensive evaluation helps identify how these patterns appear in an individual child or adolescent and guides appropriate support and intervention.
What are common signs of ADHD?
ADHD affects how people focus, organize their thoughts, and regulate their emotions and behavior. While each person’s experience is unique, common patterns include difficulty sustaining attention during tasks (yet strong engagement with preferred activities), challenges with organization and time management, acting impulsively or interrupting others, intense emotional reactions or mood variability, forgetfulness in daily activities, and difficulty following multi-step directions.
Does ADHD run in families?
Yes, ADHD often runs in families. Research shows that 77% of individuals with ADHD have a parent with the condition.
Can ADHD occur with other conditions?
Absolutely. ADHD frequently appears alongside anxiety, depression, or learning differences like dyslexia. That’s why we offer comprehensive evaluations that look at the whole person to identify any co-occurring conditions.
How do I know if an evaluation would be beneficial?
We all experience attention challenges at times. But, if you or your child is experiencing ongoing difficulties with focus, organization, emotional regulation, or impulse control that are impacting daily life—at school, work, or home—ADHD testing can provide clarity and a path forward.
