If you or your child’s teacher has noticed challenges with attention, focus, organization, communication, social interactions, or behavior, an ADHD or Autism evaluation can provide valuable answers. At The Positive Living Group, our comprehensive evaluations are designed to help individuals and families better understand their strengths, challenges, and the support that will help them thrive.

Receiving an evaluation is not about placing a label on someone—it’s about gaining clarity, identifying needs, and creating a path toward success at home, school, work, and in everyday life.

What Is an ADHD Evaluation?

An ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) evaluation assesses symptoms related to attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive functioning. We look at how these symptoms affect daily functioning across multiple settings, including school, work, and home.

An evaluation may be appropriate if you or your child experiences:

• Difficulty staying focused or completing tasks
• Frequent forgetfulness or disorganization
• Trouble following directions
• Restlessness or excessive activity
• Impulsive decision-making or interrupting others
• Academic or workplace performance concerns

What Is an Autism Evaluation?

An Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) evaluation examines social communication, sensory processing, behavior patterns, and developmental history to determine whether autism may be present.

An evaluation may be beneficial if you or your child:

• Has difficulty with social interactions or making friends
• Experiences delayed communication or language concerns
• Prefers routines and struggles with changes
• Demonstrates repetitive behaviors or highly focused interests
• Has sensory sensitivities to sounds, textures, lights, or other stimuli
• Finds it challenging to understand social cues or emotions

Our Evaluation Process

Our clinicians use evidence-based assessment tools and a thorough evaluation process that may include:

• A detailed clinical interview
• Developmental, educational, and medical history review
• Standardized assessment measures
• Behavioral observations
• Rating scales completed by parents, caregivers, teachers, or the individual (when appropriate)
• Personalized feedback and recommendations

Following the evaluation, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that explains the findings and provides practical recommendations for treatment, school accommodations, workplace support, or additional services when appropriate.

Who Can Be Evaluated?

We provide ADHD and Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Whether concerns are identified early in childhood or later in life, an evaluation can help answer important questions and guide the next steps.

Why an Evaluation Matters

A comprehensive evaluation can:

• Provide diagnostic clarity
• Identify individual strengths and areas of need
• Guide treatment planning
• Support requests for school or workplace accommodations
• Help families and individuals better understand their experiences
• Connect you with appropriate resources and services

Continuing Support

If treatment is recommended, The Positive Living Group offers ongoing support through a variety of therapeutic services, including individual therapy, neurofeedback, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches. Our goal is to partner with you throughout your journey—not just during the evaluation process.
