Computer Based ADHD- Testing
A standardized computer-based assessment that provides additional information about attention, focus, and impulsivity.
ADHD can look different from person to person. Difficulties with focus, organization, completing tasks, staying on track, or managing impulses can also occur for many other reasons. A computer-based assessment can provide additional information to help better understand your attention and response patterns as part of a comprehensive ADHD evaluation.
What to Expect
1. Complete Your Questionnaires
Before or as part of the assessment process, you’ll be asked to complete standardized questionnaires about your attention, focus, organization, impulsivity, and other symptoms. Some questionnaires may also ask about how these concerns affect your work, school, relationships, and everyday life.
These questionnaires help provide information about your experiences that a computer test alone cannot measure.
2. Complete the Computer-Based Test
You’ll complete a standardized computer-based task that requires you to pay attention and respond to specific prompts. The test evaluates patterns in how you respond throughout the assessment.
3. The Test Looks at Attention Over Time
The assessment may provide information about areas such as:
Ability to maintain attention
Consistency of responses
Speed of responding
Missed responses
Responses that occur when you should not respond
Patterns that may be associated with impulsivity or difficulty sustaining attention
4. Your Questionnaires & Test Results Are Reviewed
Your questionnaire responses and computer-based results are reviewed together. Looking at both provides a more complete picture than relying on a single test or questionnaire.
5. Results Are Considered With Your Clinical History
The testing is only one part of the evaluation. Your results are considered alongside your symptoms, childhood and developmental history, medical and mental health history, current concerns, and how symptoms affect your daily functioning.
This is important because difficulties with concentration or attention can have many possible causes, including anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress, medical conditions, medications, or other factors.
6. Discuss Your Results & Clinical Impression
Your results will be discussed with you as part of your evaluation. We’ll talk about what the findings may suggest, whether your symptoms are consistent with ADHD, and whether there are other factors that may need to be considered.
7. Create a Personalized Treatment Plan
If ADHD is diagnosed or remains a significant clinical concern, we’ll discuss treatment options based on your individual symptoms, goals, preferences, and overall health. Treatment may include medication management, behavioral strategies, supportive care, or recommendations for additional evaluation when appropriate.
How the Testing Fits Into Your Evaluation
Think of the assessment as putting several pieces of the puzzle together.
Questionnaires tell us about your experiences and how your symptoms affect your everyday life.
Computer-based testing provides additional information about your attention and response patterns during a standardized task.
Your clinical evaluation brings everything together—including your history, symptoms, development, daily functioning, and other factors that could affect attention.
No single test or questionnaire can determine whether someone has ADHD. A diagnosis is based on the overall clinical picture, with standardized testing serving as one source of information.
What You'll Need to Complete
Before your evaluation is considered complete, you may be asked to complete:
Standardized ADHD questionnaires
Additional questionnaires about mood, anxiety, or other symptoms when clinically appropriate
A standardized computer-based attention assessment
Clinical interview and discussion of your symptoms and history
