ADHD testing

ADHD testing should be considered within a careful evaluation of attention concerns. This guide explains how to ask about Westfield’s listed computerized testing and how any test may fit within a broader assessment.

Ask which instrument is used, what it measures, and how the clinician combines the result with history and clinical assessment.

What ADHD testing may add to an evaluation

An adult ADHD assessment may discuss current attention or impulse-control concerns, when they began, how they affect different settings, and whether sleep, mood, anxiety, health, or substances may contribute.

Rating scales or computerized measures can add information. Their results need clinical interpretation and should not be presented as a stand-alone diagnosis.

Read NIMH’s information about ADHD in adults.

Prepare for the first conversation

Write down examples of attention or organization difficulties and how they affect work, home, school, or relationships. If available, note earlier evaluations, school history, and treatments.

Ask the office which records are useful and how to share them securely. Do not send sensitive documents through an unconfirmed channel.

  • When did the concerns first appear?
  • Where do they cause difficulty now?
  • What other health, sleep, or mood concerns might matter?
  • What questions do you have about testing and follow-up?

Computerized testing and diagnosis are different

The Services page says Westfield provides computerized ADHD testing. The exact tool, age range, administration process, interpretation, and whether testing is included in a psychiatric evaluation need practice confirmation.

Ask what the test can and cannot tell you, whether additional assessment or referral is needed, and how findings are explained.

Confirm the right appointment

Before booking, ask whether the practice evaluates your age group, whether testing is available now, what a first visit includes, and whether the appropriate steps can be completed remotely or require an office visit.

  • Which appointment begins an ADHD evaluation?
  • Is computerized testing offered, and what is its role?
  • What are the expected costs and coverage steps?
  • How will results and next steps be reviewed?
