ADHD Testing Clinic for Teens & Adults
Living with undiagnosed ADHD can be frustrating. Many people come to us after years of struggling with focus, organization, and follow-through. Others are referred by teachers, employers, or healthcare providers who notice patterns of inattention, impulsivity, or restlessness.
Our ADHD testing process is designed to give you clear answers without the long wait times of the public system. We combine a thorough intake interview, standardized cognitive testing, and evidence-based questionnaires to understand not only if ADHD is present, but also how it affects daily life.
You’ll meet with a neuropsychologist, ensuring that your results are interpreted with clinical precision. Within a short timeframe, you’ll receive a comprehensive report and a feedback session that includes practical strategies and recommendations.
Our ADHD Testing Clinic registration is now open for September. Receive an accurate and comprehensive assessment through our ADHD Clinic.

Brain Injury (Stroke, TBI, & Concussion) Testing
Our Stroke and Concussion testing registration is now open. Receive an accurate and comprehensive assessment.
After a stroke, concussion, or traumatic brain injury, it is common to experience changes in attention, memory, or problem-solving. These changes can make returning to work, school, or daily routines challenging.
Our stroke and concussion testing services help identify the specific areas of cognitive strength and weakness that may be affected. Using standardized neuropsychological tests, we assess functions such as:
· Memory and attention
· Processing speed
· Executive functioning
· Language and problem-solving
These evaluations provide a clear picture of how the brain is functioning post-injury. The results can guide rehabilitation planning, workplace accommodations, return-to-learn or return-to-work programs, and medical or legal decision-making. Families and healthcare providers benefit from having clear, objective data to support recovery and next steps.
Dementia & Memory Testing
For many families, changes in memory, problem-solving, or personality raise the question: is this normal aging, or something more? Dementia testing provides clarity in these uncertain situations.
Our dementia and memory evaluations are designed to identify early cognitive changes and differentiate between normal age-related memory lapses and more serious conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative disorders.
We carefully assess areas such as:
· Short-term and long-term memory
· Language and comprehension
· Problem-solving and reasoning
· Attention and focus
Early evaluation can help families access resources, plan for the future, and support loved ones in maintaining independence for as long as possible. Our reports are written with clarity, making them useful not only for medical professionals but also for families making important care decisions.
