ADHD Testing
ADHD testing at Alliance Psychology is designed to uncover whether challenges with focus, hyperactivity, or impulsivity are related to ADHD or another concern. With a clear diagnosis and practical recommendations, we provide insight into difficulties affecting school performance, work productivity, and relationships.
We serve children, teens, and adults in Orem, Spanish Fork, and across Utah County, offering both in-person and telehealth support.
What is ADHD Testing?
ADHD testing is a professional evaluation that assesses symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It helps determine whether challenges are related to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or another concern.
Unlike quick online quizzes that can give incomplete or misleading results, ADHD testing at Alliance Psychology is conducted by specialists using standardized tools recommended by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
Who Benefits from ADHD Testing
ADHD testing can be helpful at many life stages. By identifying how symptoms show up in daily life, testing helps people take the proper next steps.
Children (ages 6–12): Testing can identify whether struggles with focus, learning, or behavior are related to ADHD. Early diagnosis can help secure school support.
Teens (13–18): Testing can clarify struggles with academic performance, impulsivity, or managing emotions during a critical developmental stage.
Adults: Testing can explain patterns that affect work, organization, time management, and relationships. Testing often helps adults understand challenges they’ve faced since childhood.
Students & Employees Seeking Accommodations: A formal evaluation provides the documentation needed for ADA/504 accommodations, such as extra time on exams or workplace support.

- Information from Others: With consent, teachers, coaches, or caregivers may be asked for input to gain a fuller picture of how symptoms affect daily life.
