Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Evaluation & Testing

QBtech

Dear Future Patient,

HC Mental Health & Wellness creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment for exploring mental health challenges. Our personalized therapy plans are designed to help clients build resilience, achieve personal growth, and foster self-discovery. We specialize in caring for adolescents, adults, and older individuals with conditions such as ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and grief, ensuring an approach tailored to each individual's needs. 

Our practice utilizes Qbtech’s ADHD testing, an FDA-cleared medical device that provides objective data for diagnosing and treating ADHD in patients aged 6-60. This evidence-based testing enables us to gather more information about your symptoms, allowing us to understand your unique needs better. 

Three reasons testing is necessary:

1. Avoiding bias due to age and sex differences.

   • ADHD presents very differently, depending on one’s age/sex.

   • Qbtech’s test results include data from age/sex-matched normative groups to ensure better comparisons of your symptom severity.

2. Symptoms of ADHD can overlap with other disorders.

3. Qbtech’s objective testing provides data to better understand if symptoms fit the presentation we expect with ADHD or not. 

4. Ensuring optimal outcomes

5. Finding the right treatment takes some trial-and-error, and determining treatment efficacy can be difficult.

6. Qbtech’s testing allows us to measure response to treatment to ensure you are receiving optimal results in a streamlined way.

   
   

What you can expect:

• Testing involves a 15 to 20 minute, nonverbal, computer-based task. 

• The task measures your attention level and impulse control.

• While taking the task, movements are measured to determine if hyperactivity is present.

• Results are compared to an age and sex matched group.

• With the information from your clinical interview and rating scale(s), your clinician will interpret results to determine if you qualify for an ADHD diagnosis. 

• If an ADHD diagnosis is indicated, our practice may then conduct Qbtech’s testing after treatment is initiated to measure your response to treatment.

  
  

Please feel free to reach out if you would like to receive a summary of research around Qbtech’s testing, view sample reports, or learn more about how we are working to improve our patients’ outcomes and create a better view of ADHD.
