ADHD evaluation and testing are different services
A questionnaire, a clinical assessment and a formal testing report answer different questions. Confirm which service you need before you schedule.
Nao Medical’s adult ADHD medication evaluation and management service and child ADHD evaluation service have different appointment requirements. Confirm age eligibility, the clinician and the initial visit format before scheduling.
Updated October 7, 2026
Adults can review Nao’s adult ADHD medication evaluation and management service. Parents should review the separate child evaluation service and confirm the initial assessment requirements. Ask the care team which appointment is appropriate for your child.
Write down specific situations in which attention, organization or impulsivity has affected your day. Note when the difficulties began and where they occur. Previous school reports, assessments and treatment summaries can help organize the conversation. Ask what to do if older records are unavailable.
Prepare a medication and supplement list, relevant medical history and details of previous ADHD treatment. Tell the clinician about other prescribers and current care, including treatment for substance use. Ask how records can be shared securely and how follow-up would be coordinated.
A clinical evaluation considers history, symptoms, daily functioning and other possible explanations. A screening questionnaire alone does not establish ADHD. Formal psychological or neuropsychological testing is a different service; ask what your appointment includes if you need a detailed testing report.
Before the visit ends, ask how the findings will be explained, whether further records or assessment are needed and what follow-up is recommended. Medication, therapy, additional assessment or referral may be discussed when appropriate. No diagnosis, specific medication or fixed outcome is guaranteed.
Confirm visit format, your location requirements for virtual care, fees, exact insurance benefits and the documents needed. If a school or workplace has requested a report, share its requirements before the appointment and ask whether the clinician can provide the requested documentation.
