Assessment & Testing
ADHD Assessment & IQ Testing
Real evaluation. Real expertise. Real answers.
Understanding how someone thinks, learns, and functions starts with more than checking a list of symptoms.
At Lilac Therapy Center, our assessments are conducted in person by an experienced, doctoral-level psychologist who takes the time to understand the whole person—not just a questionnaire or screening result.
Our evaluations consider your history, strengths, challenges, cognitive functioning, attention, executive functioning, and other factors that may be affecting how you or your child functions at school, work, home, or in relationships.
We offer ADHD assessments for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults, as well as IQ-only evaluations.

A More Complete Picture
Why We Include Performance Measures in ADHD Evaluations
ADHD can affect much more than attention. It can influence impulse control, processing speed, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and executive functioning.
At Lilac, performance-based measures give us an opportunity to observe these skills directly in a structured setting — adding another layer of information to interviews, history, and rating scales.
What this can help us understand:
Attention and impulse control
Executive functioning and cognitive flexibility
Individual strengths and areas of difficulty
How cognitive skills may be affecting everyday life
Information that can help guide personalized recommendations
No single test can diagnose ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation brings together multiple sources of information to develop a clearer, more individualized picture of how a person thinks, learns, and functions.
The goal isn't simply to answer, “Does this person have ADHD?” It's to understand the whole person — and provide recommendations that are meaningful and useful.

Expertise Across the Lifespan
Our assessments are thoughtfully tailored for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults, recognizing that ADHD can look very different at different stages of life.
Recommendations That Actually Help
We don't stop at a diagnosis. You'll receive individualized recommendations designed to address the specific areas where you or your child may be struggling—at school, at work, at home, or in relationships.
A Personalized Understanding
Every evaluation is different. We consider your unique history, strengths, challenges, and concerns to provide a clearer picture of what's really going on.
-
A Thoughtful, Individualized Process
Intake & Background Review: We begin by learning about your or your child's history, concerns, strengths, and current challenges.
Testing & Assessment: Testing is conducted in person and may include cognitive, attention, executive functioning, performance-based, and rating-scale measures depending on the evaluation selected.
Feedback & Recommendations: Following testing, you'll meet with the psychologist to review the findings. You'll also receive a written report and individualized recommendations based on the evaluation.
Assessment Across the Lifespan
ADHD doesn't look the same for everyone—and symptoms can change as people grow.
Our assessments are available for: Children ages 5+ • Adolescents • Adults
We consider developmental stage, individual history, strengths, challenges, and the environments in which concerns are showing up.
