Comprehensive ADHD Evaluation
Evidence-based diagnostic assessment for children, teens, and young adults—with objective testing, school collaboration, and a clear, personalized plan.
At SHIELD Psychiatry, your evaluation integrates clinical expertise with objective data to distinguish ADHD from look-alike conditions (anxiety, trauma, learning differences, sleep issues) and to identify co-occurring needs. We combine a developmentally attuned diagnostic interview, standardized rating scales from home and school, and QbCheck™ computerized testing to quantify attention, impulsivity, and activity.
You’ll receive a concise written report, education on next steps, and a personalized treatment roadmap—covering behavioral strategies, academic supports, and medication options when appropriate. With your permission, we coordinate directly with schools to translate findings into effective accommodations.
Medication Management
Individualized ADHD pharmacotherapy with education, safety monitoring, and measurable outcomes.
At SHIELD Psychiatry, every child and young adult receives a tailored medication plan that starts with a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, medical history, family history, and lifestyle factors. We match the treatment to the individual—not the other way around.
Once a medication is prescribed, we educate patients and caregivers about mechanism, benefits, and side effects, emphasizing adherence and safety. We set clear goals (focus, impulse control, organization, sleep) and define how we’ll measure progress at school and home.
During follow-ups, we review rating scales, vitals, and functional outcomes; then adjust dose, timing, or formulation to optimize benefit and minimize adverse effects. We coordinate with schools and pediatricians as needed and maintain a shared safety plan.
Visit format & fee: Medication-management follow-up, 30 minutes — $250. Longer visits available when clinically indicated.
QbCheck™ ADHD Testing
FDA-cleared, remote, objective measurement of attention, impulsivity, and activity
At SHIELD Psychiatry, we offer QbCheck™, an FDA-cleared, objective assessment tool for ADHD that can be completed remotely using your device’s webcam and microphone. This innovative test quantifies attention, impulsivity, and activity, providing valuable data to support accurate diagnosis.
QbCheck combines a computerized task with motion-tracking technology to assess core ADHD symptoms in real time. The test is simple, non-invasive, and typically takes 15–20 minutes to complete. By analyzing performance and movement patterns, QbCheck helps distinguish ADHD from other conditions with overlapping symptoms.
After completion, results are compared with standardized norms, offering clear insight into symptom severity. Our clinicians integrate these findings with clinical interviews and rating scales to form a comprehensive profile and guide personalized treatment recommendations.
With QbCheck’s remote capability, families can complete the assessment from home, making ADHD evaluations more accessible and convenient—for both initial diagnosis and ongoing treatment monitoring.
Session Fee: $350 per QbCheck™ assessment, including clinician review and written report.
