Testing & Assessment

Psychological testing and assessment for ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a comprehensive and specialized process aimed at understanding the cognitive and behavioral functioning of individuals suspected of having ADHD.

This evaluation involves a battery of standardized tests and clinical interviews conducted by trained school and clinical psychologists. These assessments explore various aspects of attention, executive functions, memory, and other cognitive domains to uncover any underlying neurobiological factors contributing to ADHD symptoms.

The results of these assessments help in formulating a diagnosis, determining the severity of ADHD symptoms, and tailoring appropriate treatment plans, which may include medication, therapy, or educational interventions, to better support individuals with ADHD in managing their symptoms and achieving their full potential.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Newtown ADHD Center offers a variety of services, beyond testing and assessment, that can be selected a la carte style. Individualized programs can be developed by your provider, based on our “E3IQ” curriculum.

This unique curriculum, developed by the providers at the Newtown ADHD Center, draws on combined decades of education and clinical experience working with individuals with ADHD and their support systems. Lessons and exercises are relevant to the unique strengths and needs of clients with ADHD, and they teach accessible and applicable skills and strategies for encouraging success. The E3IQ curriculum is built on three pillars of intervention and focus for ADHD treatment:

Individual & Group Coaching

Newtown ADHD Center understands that navigating life with ADHD presents unique challenges, creative opportunities and individualized obstacles. We offer both individual and group coaching options that are thorough, in-depth, and take into account the whole person.

These sessions take place with certified ADHD professionals who are also masters and/or doctoral level psychotherapists, incorporating our own E3IQ Curriculum. Applying these skills to the unique individual, our ADHD coaches work collaboratively with clients, to help problem-solve, empower, and build resilience on their journey. Individual coaching options can be curriculum-based or non-curriculum based, depending on clients’ needs. Our group coaching options are rooted in our E3IQ curriculum and are correlated to the individually based program. Group coaching sessions allow for continued support, learning, and growth for individuals with ADHD while helping to boost self-esteem, enhance the quality of relationships, and empower participants to navigate social challenges effectively, while fostering a sense of confidence and belonging. Clients can choose to engage with individual offerings, group offerings, or both.

Caregiver Support

Newtown ADHD Center offers many different options for supporting parents/caregivers of children/individuals with ADHD. Our Licensed Clinical Psychologists and/or Certified ADHD Providers offer individual parent/caregiver coaching. This can correspond to your child’s

individual or group skills training to support their progress. We also offer parent/caregiver behavior management training, for children/individuals with ADHD, who may have disruptive behaviors at home, in school, or at work. We also offer parent/caregiver coaching, via group sessions, with other parents/caregivers present, in order to learn skills and support and collaborate with other parents/caregivers, who may be experiencing similar stressors.

School/Work Accommodations

After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, through Newtown ADHD Center’s assessment opportunities, from a Certified ADHD Provider, or from a psychiatrist, you/your child may qualify for accommodations at school, college, and/or work, to help increase your/your child’s

academic and/or career success. Our Licensed Clinical Psychologists and/or Certified ADHD Providers will create individualized recommendations for accommodations and help talk you through your options for initiating these accommodations at school, college, and/or work. Our providers can also provide information on initiating a 504 plan and/or Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at your/your child’s school. Our providers would be happy to join IEP and/or 504 Plan meetings with your child’s academic team to help facilitate the process. Typical accommodations for ADHD include: Extended time on tests (including standardized tests), preferential seating, the ability to take tests in a less distracting environment, extended time to complete projects with deadlines, chunking schoolwork/projects into smaller, more manageable steps, and more!

Medication Management

Newtown ADHD Center works hand in hand with our affiliated psychiatry practices to provide the most effective ADHD medication management solutions. Our approach is grounded in the belief that optimal results are achieved when psychology and psychiatry seamlessly integrate

their expertise. By combining the insights and therapeutic strategies of our skilled psychologists with the pharmacological expertise of our esteemed psychiatry practices, we ensure that our clients receive personalized, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. The bridge between psychology and psychiatry leads to the best possible outcomes for people diagnosed with ADHD. Newtown ADHD Center collaborates with Dr. Jeffrey Herman and associates for medication management. Website: drjeffreyherman.com
