I had a great experience. I felt welcome, heard, accepted and comfortable so it was not hard.
We had such a great experience at MNNP and appreciate the detailed report. I met with my chlid’s teacher and she said it was one of the best reports she’s ever read. I just wanted to pass that on to you and let you know that all the details you included in here, we so appreciate it and it’s been amazing.
We really appreciate your help and we had a wonderful experience working with you.
I felt so at ease working with you all. I wanted our child to have the best experience. I know it was a long day for him, but you all made him feel so comfortable. Receiving the diagnosis has turned out to be a turning point for my child. His attitude has shifted from not feeling good enough to knowing why his brain works the way it does. With the diagnosis we were able to get him the services he needed in school. It is so exciting to see his progress.
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.
