ADHD assessments are typically completed in a single 1 hr visit.

Medical records, any relevant evaluations or school records (e.g. IEP or 504P), and parent and teacher questionnaires should be submitted at least 3–5 days before Visit 1. If records are not received in time, your visits may need to be rescheduled.

What to Expect:

• Review previous evaluations, school records

• Review parent & teacher questionnaires

• Discuss your current concerns

• Clinical evaluation

• Review findings and possible diagnosis

Following the evaluation, you will receive a written report with personalized recommendations and next steps. With your consent, your pediatrician will also receive a copy.

Where The Forest Grows does not provide ongoing medication management at this time. Any recommendations for medication, therapy, school accommodations, laboratory testing, or specialty referrals should be coordinated with your child's primary care provider. School letters can be provided as needed.
