ADHD is a medical diagnosis
20 percent of children currently identified as having ADHD likely have been misdiagnosed. A correct examination and diagnosis is of paramount importance to ensure that the adult does not get treated for something they do not have.
Males are 3 times more at risk than females.
Scientific studies have shown that ADHD is heritable. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a huge difference. The sooner the better.

Our Assessment Process
If ADHD appears to be the case, further examination is done via additional self-rating scales that indicate the severity of the symptoms and their impact on the client’s lifestyle. The type of ADHD is diagnosed from these indicators and this information is given to the client in a formal report. This report can be taken to your primary care physician to discuss the need for medication, if that is your interest. Several resources are suggested in the report as well.

Cheryl noticed in her work with clients, that many adults have struggled for years with being unorganized, losing track of things, appearing distracted, finding it hard to start or finish tasks and believing they were inadequate in some way. Telling themselves that they need to try harder or they need to establish a system. It can be a relief to find out that it is not an inadequacy of their capabilities, but rather a common disorder that many people cope with everyday and very successfully.
