When something about focus, follow-through, or restlessness keeps getting in the way, you should be able to get a real look at it without jumping through hoops. Core Spring gives Port Washington children, teens, and adults an individualized ADHD evaluation, led start to finish by one psychologist. Reach out directly, no referral needed.
We develop a real understanding of attention, behavior, and executive function, looking at inattention, impulsivity or internal restlessness, disorganization, and inconsistent performance, with developmental history in view. We also look at how these patterns land in school, at work, and in daily life. A clinical interview gathers background, then testing is paced across one or more days using gold-standard ADHD measures. Parent, teacher, and family questionnaires fill in the picture. A feedback session follows with diagnosis and individualized recommendations.
It can look like a child who is always in motion, derails during longer tasks, forgets instructions seconds after hearing them, rushes through work, and underperforms despite real ability.
A teen may put things off until the deadline looms, lose assignments in the shuffle, react big to small frustrations, and see grades swing as the workload increases.
An adult may face missed deadlines, clutter that keeps returning, forgotten conversations, restlessness, impulsive decisions, and a long history of underperforming compared to their ability.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a thorough background, from childhood through your day-to-day life today. This conversation helps identify the specific patterns, challenges, and history that inform which ADHD-specific assessments will be most effective for your situation.
Based on your clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of ADHD-focused assessments. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. You will also be sent home with questionnaires, and individuals closely involved in your life (parents, teachers, or partners) can receive their own questionnaires to provide additional perspective on attention, focus, and executive function patterns.
Your psychologist compiles all testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into a detailed diagnostic report. If anything else surfaces during the evaluation (such as anxiety, depression, or other co-occurring conditions), those findings are included so nothing gets overlooked.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. This is where you receive your diagnosis along with individualized recommendations: practical strategies for home, school, or work, resources for therapy or coaching, medication guidance if applicable, and next steps tailored to your specific needs.
ADHD in girls often presents as inattentive rather than hyperactive, which can make it harder to spot. Girls may appear quiet, daydreamy, or disorganized rather than disruptive. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates all ADHD presentations using individualized clinical interviewing and standardized tools, capturing patterns that may be overlooked in school or social settings.
The baseline assesses processing speed, working memory, attention span, planning and organization, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control. These results provide context for interpreting ADHD-specific findings and help the psychologist understand how attention and executive function patterns affect daily performance.
Yes. ADHD and learning disabilities frequently co-occur, and symptoms can overlap in areas like reading comprehension, task completion, and following instructions. Core Spring Diagnostics screens for both during every ADHD evaluation so the recommendations reflect the full picture.
A brief screening uses a short checklist to flag potential concerns. A comprehensive evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics includes cognitive testing, executive function assessment, ADHD-specific measures, behavior rating scales from multiple sources, clinical interviewing, and comorbidity screening. The result is a detailed report with individualized recommendations.
The feedback session is a dedicated meeting with the psychologist who conducted the evaluation. During this session, the psychologist reviews the findings, explains any diagnoses, and walks through the individualized recommendations. Parents, partners, or other support people can attend. It is an opportunity to ask questions and plan next steps.
