What is ADHD?

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. Kids with ADHD often struggle with maintaining attention, regulating their impulses, and managing hyperactivity.

Some common signs include:

  • Difficulty staying focused on tasks, Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones, Impulsivity in decision-making, Forgetfulness, Poor organizational skills, Difficulty remaining still

Recognizing and understanding these signs is crucial for getting your child the help they deserve.

How We Assess ADHD?

Usually, as part of a psychoeducational evaluation, we assess whether ADHD is a factor in your child’s learning. This process helps us decide if a diagnosis of ADHD is appropriate and how it impacts their education. Our licensed educational psychologists conduct these evaluations. They examine students for learning differences, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and other factors as part of the comprehensive assessment. You might hear this type of assessment, also referred to as a school neuropsychological evaluation. The findings from this assessment inform the development of an intervention plan, support for IEP or 504 plans, and provide clarity for the child and family.

Here’s What Parents Are Saying

  • “We had a wonderful experience with Jana and Makenzie at Mind by Design. They were patient and accommodating and really care about a great outcome for the kids they work with. It wasn’t just a one and done assessment but rather an open dialogue of continued guidance, referrals, and support. Their services are invaluable.”

    PARENT

  • “We were very pleased with the work Jana did in conducting an Independent Educational Evaluation of our daughter. She was very professional and thorough in evaluating our daughter. The recommendations that she provided to the school were exactly what our daughter needed. She was tenacious in advocating for our daughter. We were very pleased with Jana, and we would highly recommend her!!”

    PARENT

  • “I met with Jana to talk about my son and his behaviors. Distance learning was a failure for us and my son lost a lot of confidence and really struggled with feeling down. I feel like we all have some form of PTSD from all of this. I wanted to get my son assessed because he is very bright but was having a hard time concentrating and I wanted to know more how he learned and see if an assessment could tell me more about his brain, learning style and personality traits that interfere with him being successful. Jana was SO easy to speak with and she really listened and wanted to help me. She gave me a bunch of references to follow up with to help my son and I really appreciated her openness, honest character and bubbly personality. Her office space is also very comfortable and warm. I would highly recommend her.”

    PARENT

  • “Mind by Design truly glows. It has been wonderful to see Founder Jana Parker’s passion and care for students and families meet her ingenious vision for better. Mind by Design is rooted in a deep knowledge of educational psychology and the needs of the community it has so beautifully served. I cannot wait to see what is ahead for this group! And I appreciate knowing that each referral will be in such good hands.”
