At Restore Psychology, we specialize in ADHD testing in San Diego for children, teens, and adults. Whether you're navigating school challenges, workplace difficulties, or everyday frustrations, our comprehensive evaluations are designed to bring clarity and direction. We use evidence-based tools, clinical expertise, and a personalized approach to help you better understand attention-related struggles and how to manage them effectively.
Understanding ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. Common symptoms include difficulty focusing, impulsivity, forgetfulness, and restlessness. These challenges can impact academic performance, job success, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
There are different presentations of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined. Many individuals go undiagnosed until adulthood, making accurate assessment essential for effective support.
Signs You May Need ADHD Testing
You might benefit from an ADHD evaluation if you or your child are experiencing:
-
Trouble focusing or completing tasks
-
Chronic disorganization
-
Forgetfulness or frequent daydreaming
-
Restlessness or fidgeting
-
Poor academic or work performance
-
Difficulty managing time or emotions
-
A history of being told you're "lazy" or "not living up to potential"
If any of these sound familiar, a professional assessment can help determine the cause and provide a roadmap for support.
What to Expect During an ADHD Evaluation
Our ADHD testing process is thorough, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs:
-
Initial Consultation: We begin with an initial phone consultation to understand your concerns and needs.
-
Clinical Interview: We gather developmental, educational, and behavioral history during the intake session.
-
Standardized Testing: You’ll complete questionnaires and neuropsychological assessments validated for diagnosing ADHD.
-
Feedback Session: We review the results together and provide a comprehensive written report with recommendations and referrals.
Our goal is to deliver a clear, accurate diagnosis and equip you with strategies for moving forward.
ADHD Testing for Children, Teens, and Adults
Children: We work with families and schools to assess attention, behavior, and learning needs in children as young as 6.
​
Teens: Adolescents face unique challenges with time management, academic pressure, and social development. Our evaluations help identify support needs early.
​
Adults: Many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. If you’ve struggled with focus, impulsivity, or underachievement, our assessments can offer clarity and connection to treatment resources.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD Testing
How long does ADHD testing take?

Restore Psychology aims to finish this process from intake session to feedback session within 2 weeks.
Do you test for other conditions? Yes! We screen for co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, personality disorders, or learning disabilities.
