Prepare for an ADHD evaluation
Bring examples of your concerns and the records you have. An evaluation is a conversation about your history and needs, with treatment decisions made after assessment.
Contact Nao Medical to discuss adult ADHD medication evaluation and management or child ADHD evaluation. Ask whether your appointment includes clinical assessment or whether formal testing requires a separate specialist.

A screening questionnaire can help you describe symptoms and decide what to discuss with a clinician. A score alone is not a diagnosis. If you complete a questionnaire, bring it as background and describe the concerns that led you to take it.
A qualified clinician reviews the history and impact of your concerns and considers other explanations. The appointment may include interviews, records review and rating scales. Ask how findings are shared and what happens if additional assessment is needed.
Psychological or neuropsychological testing can involve a structured battery and a detailed report. The provider, time, fees and documentation may differ from a clinical medication evaluation. If a school or another professional requests formal testing, confirm the exact requirement and the appropriate referral.
Tell the team if your goal is to discuss treatment, review a previous diagnosis, obtain an assessment report or respond to a school or workplace request. Bring the written requirement if you have it. Ask whether the proposed appointment can address it before paying or attending.
Use the adult service information for adult evaluation questions. Parents should review the child ADHD service and confirm the clinician, initial format and records required. A virtual adult service should not be treated as a substitute for a child’s evaluation.
If Nao’s appointment does not include the testing you need, ask how to seek the appropriate specialist. Check the fee and benefits for the exact assessment. Testing, psychotherapy and medication evaluation can have different coverage rules.
