Uptown Psychology
ADHD Testing & Support in Miami & Coral Gables
First clarity, then tools: proper ADHD assessment followed by practical support for focus, organization, and follow-through.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Getting
ADHD Properly Assessed
An accurate
answer
Attention struggles have many causes: ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, sleep. Proper assessment tells you which, so treatment targets the right thing.
Documentation
that helps
Testing supports school accommodations (504/IEP), college supports, and informed conversations with prescribers.
Support beyond
the label
Diagnosis is step one. We follow it with executive function skills, therapy, and parent tools that change daily life.
The Stakes
The Cost of "Just Try Harder"
Unassessed ADHD compounds: missed assignments become failing grades, lost items become family fights, and a bright kid (or a capable adult) starts to internalize “lazy” and “careless” as identity. Years of effort-shaming don’t build skills. Assessment and the right support do.

- Organization, planning & prioritization
- Emotional reactivity and frustration

ADHD rarely travels alone: anxiety, learning differences, and executive function weaknesses often co-occur. When the picture is complex, a full psychoeducational evaluation sorts out all the threads at once.
The Support
ADHD Support
at Every Age
Children
For kids, ADHD support pairs skills training with parent coaching: structure, routines, and reinforcement systems that actually stick. When behavior is the main battleground, parent-based approaches are often the most powerful lever.
Teens & students
Middle school, high school, and college are executive function marathons. We teach planning, task initiation, and study systems teens will actually use, see also our guide to executive function skills for college students.
Adults
Assessment for adults who always suspected it, and practical coaching for focus, prioritization, and follow-through at work and home. Read more about ADHD coaching for adults.
Medication questions
We don’t prescribe, but thorough testing gives you and a prescriber a solid foundation for that conversation, including whether attention symptoms are better explained by something else entirely.

Questions About ADHD Testing & Support
Do you diagnose ADHD?
Yes. Our assessment process is designed to establish (or rule out) an ADHD diagnosis using standardized measures, rating scales, and clinical history, with documentation you can use with schools and prescribers.
Could it be something other than ADHD?
Often, yes: anxiety, learning differences, sleep problems, and depression can all look like attention deficits. That’s exactly why we assess broadly rather than confirming assumptions. You’ll get the real answer.
Will testing help us get a 504 plan?
Our reports document needs in the language schools use for 504 and IEP discussions, and we can collaborate with your school’s team directly when helpful.
Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not accept insurance. You may contact your insurance provider regarding potential out-of-network reimbursement for testing and therapy.
Do you test adults for ADHD?
Yes, including adults who have wondered for years. Adult assessment covers current functioning and childhood history, since ADHD begins in childhood even when it’s diagnosed much later.
