Personalized ADHD Evaluations for Teens & Adults (Ages 12+)

Understanding ADHD takes more than a computerized test.

Do you or your teen struggle with attention, organization, forgetfulness, impulsivity, time management, or completing tasks—even when you're trying your hardest?

Perhaps you've wondered about ADHD for years. Maybe a teacher or healthcare provider has recommended an evaluation. Or you've already received an ADHD diagnosis and want a better understanding of how attention-related challenges affect everyday life.

At Atascosa Counseling & Consultation Services (ACCS), we offer a personalized, multi-step ADHD assessment process that looks beyond individual test scores.

Our goal is to help clients and families better understand their experiences, identify areas of strength and difficulty, and receive clinically informed recommendations for moving forward.

What Makes Our ADHD Assessment Different?

ADHD doesn't look the same in everyone. Symptoms can vary depending on age, environment, responsibilities, stress, and other mental health or medical concerns.

That's why we don't rely on one questionnaire or computerized test to determine whether someone has ADHD.

Our assessment process may include:

• Clinical interviews: Exploring symptoms, developmental history, childhood experiences, daily functioning, and current concerns.

• Collateral information: Gathering relevant observations from parents, caregivers, teachers, partners, or other individuals when appropriate and authorized.

• Standardized questionnaires: Reviewing ADHD symptom ratings and other clinically relevant screening instruments.

• Records review: Examining relevant academic records, report cards, prior evaluations, medical information, or other documentation when available.

• Behavioral observations: Considering how the client approaches tasks and responds during the assessment process.

• Computerized attention testing: Using the IVA-2 Continuous Performance Test to gather objective performance information.

• Clinical integration: Evaluating findings together, including alternative or co-occurring conditions that may explain or contribute to symptoms.

No single ADHD test can establish or rule out a diagnosis on its own. Our clinician considers the full clinical picture before determining appropriate diagnostic conclusions and recommendations.

ADHD Assessment Fees & Insurance

We believe clients deserve clear pricing before beginning an evaluation.

Clinical assessment appointments: Billed separately at the applicable counseling session rate. Most clients complete one to three sessions before computerized testing.

IVA-2 computerized testing: $300, private pay.

Results review appointment: Billed separately at the applicable counseling session rate.

Written assessment documentation: An individualized clinical findings report is included in our standard assessment process. Additional reports tailored to medical, educational, or workplace purposes may require separate professional documentation fees, disclosed in advance.

We do not bill insurance for the $300 computerized testing appointment.

Eligible clients may use accepted insurance benefits for covered clinical sessions before and after testing, subject to their individual plan benefits and coverage requirements. We accept Aetna, Curative, and United Healthcare.

The cost of the overall assessment varies depending on the number of clinical appointments and any additional documentation requested.

We will explain expected costs and available options before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule the computerized test without first meeting with Megan?

Generally, no. Our assessment process begins with a clinical evaluation to determine whether testing is appropriate and what additional information may be needed.

Will I receive an ADHD diagnosis?

Not necessarily. The assessment may support an ADHD diagnosis, identify other concerns, or indicate that additional evaluation is needed. We do not guarantee a particular diagnostic result.

Can my child use the report to request school accommodations?

When supported by the findings, our documentation can help families communicate relevant clinical concerns and functional limitations. Each school determines eligibility and accommodations through its applicable evaluation process.

Public schools also have independent obligations to evaluate students suspected of needing disability-related services. Families do not necessarily need to purchase private testing before requesting a school evaluation.

Can my doctor use the results when discussing medication?

Yes. With appropriate authorization, assessment findings may be shared with your medical provider. Your prescriber will independently determine whether medication is appropriate.

Is testing covered by insurance?

The $300 computerized testing appointment is private pay. Eligible counseling sessions associated with the assessment may be billed to accepted insurance plans when covered.

What if I'm already a client of another ACCS therapist?

You can remain with your regular therapist while completing the specialized assessment process with Megan. Your therapist can coordinate the referral and ongoing care as appropriate.

Do you offer testing for young children?

Our ADHD assessment service is designed for ages 12 and older. Younger children may be referred to an appropriately qualified pediatric or psychological assessment provider.
