Frequently asked questions.

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain’s executive functioning and self-management systems. It is not a behavioral disorder or mental illness. ADHD impacts approximately 11% of children and nearly 5% of adults. While there is no cure, symptoms can improve significantly with proper treatment.

What ages does ADHD Life Medical Associates treat?

✔ We currently provide treatment for ages 13 and older.
✔ Parent coaching is available for children of any age.
✔ QbTesting is offered for individuals ages 6–60.
✔ We plan to expand treatment to ages 6 and older in the near future.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is necessary! Simply book an appointment for your initial consultation.

Can I get both tested and treated for ADHD?

Yes! Your initial consultation includes:
✔ A comprehensive ADHD evaluation
✔ Screening for other commonly associated disorders
✔ Screening for potential learning disabilities

Does ADHD Life Medical Associates only treat ADHD?

No. In addition to ADHD, we also treat Depression and Anxiety, which often mimic or coexist with ADHD. We provide comprehensive screenings for other conditions and collaborate closely with The Marriage and Family Clinic to offer counseling and ancillary services, many of which are available in-house. We are also in the process of expanding our practice to include care for more complex psychiatric disorders.

Does ADHD Life Medical Associates work with schools?

Yes! We offer guidance on 504 Plans and IEPs when appropriate. Our support includes:
✔ Education on 504 and IEP plans
✔ Recommendations for working with teachers and counselors
✔ Developing an at-home support plan

Not all students with ADHD require these accommodations, as many teachers already implement class-wide strategies to improve focus and retention. Ultimately, final determinations on 504 and IEP plans are made by the school administration after reviewing input from teachers, parents, counselors, and clinical providers.

What is MindPrint, and what ages can be tested?

MindPrint is the only K-12 cognitive assessment that provides personalized learning strategies based on objective cognitive data. The test is designed for individuals with a 2nd-grade reading level up to age 21.

Does MindPrint diagnose learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders?

No, MindPrint does not provide formal diagnoses for learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders. However, it can:
✔ Identify indicators suggesting the need for further evaluation
✔ Screen for giftedness
✔ Offer insights into learning challenges

How can MindPrint help my child in school?

MindPrint results and strategies can be immediately applied at home and school. They can also be shared with:
✔ Teachers and school counselors
✔ Tutors and educational specialists
✔ 504 and IEP teams

If results suggest further testing is needed, we may recommend:
✔ Requesting additional evaluations through your child’s school district
✔ Seeking private testing with a qualified psychologist

MindPrint also offers special recommendations for SAT/ACT when requested.

What is your Cancelation policy?

We require 24-hour notice for cancellations. If you do not cancel in advance, a $75 fee will be charged.

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, we do not accept insurance for consultations or sessions. However, we:
✔ Assist with prior authorizations for prescription coverage for existing clients
✔ Provide documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement
✔ Accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) payments

This approach allows us to focus on personalized, high-quality care rather than administrative burdens imposed by insurance companies.
