There Is no screening for
ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER:

     When you "just screen" for A.D.H.D., a lot of things can slip through the holes, like other things in a child's life that may be affecting his or her feelings and behavior. Marital, parenting, learning, social and peer problems may cause symptoms of  A.D.H.D. but these issues require a completely different treatment from A.D.H.D.

     The truth is, there is just no such thing as a simple screening for A.D.H.D.  At the Silver Psychology Center, the diagnosis of your child's behavioral or learning problems will be based on the full range of tests and observations, including a developmental history and completion of behavioral questionnaires.

      This is so you will feel confident that you are receiving a comprehensive evaluation. The use of an in-depth, broad spectrum approach reduces the likelihood of an incorrect diagnosis and assures a more appropriate and effective treatment.
