ADHD Evaluation in Arlington, MA
An ADHD evaluation looks carefully at attention, organization, impulsivity and restlessness across home, school and work — and at other conditions, such as anxiety, depression or sleep problems, that can look like ADHD.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Arlington, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Arlington families often balance Boston and Cambridge commutes with busy school schedules, so a nearby office plus telehealth follow-ups tends to work well.
Adhd evaluation for Arlington patients: who it helps
People from Arlington come to us for ADHD evaluation for many reasons, including:
- Children whose teachers report attention or behavior concerns
- Teens struggling with organization, deadlines or grades
- Adults with chronic procrastination, disorganization or missed deadlines
- People who were diagnosed as children and want a reassessment
- Patients wondering whether anxiety, mood or sleep issues explain their focus problems
What to expect
- History and rating scales: We gather developmental, school and work history and use validated ADHD rating scales — often including input from parents, teachers or a partner.
- Clinical interview: A detailed interview explores symptoms, when they began, how they affect daily life and other possible explanations.
- Screening for related conditions: Anxiety, depression, learning differences, substance use and sleep disorders are reviewed, because they often co-occur with or mimic ADHD.
- Results and treatment options: You receive a clear explanation and options that may include behavioral strategies, school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals and, when appropriate, medication.

Do you evaluate adults for ADHD?
Yes. We evaluate adults as well as children and adolescents.
Will I be prescribed stimulant medication?
Only if it is clinically appropriate after a full evaluation. Stimulants are controlled medications, so they require careful screening, regular follow-up and in some cases an in-person visit.

Old report cards, prior evaluations or testing, and a list of current medications are all helpful. For children, teacher feedback is valuable.
