Our evaluation process is a neuro-affirming, collaborative exploration of your identity. It is informed by the most current scientific understanding of ADHD and the less obvious presentation of Autism in adults and is conducted over at least 3 sessions with some remote assessments between sessions.
Interview (2 60-minute sessions)
During these visits, we may:
Review your concerns. What made you seek out this service now?
Review your medical, educational, legal, occupational and social history.
Conduct a limited physical exam to establish baseline vital signs such as blood pressure and weight, and to screen for physical issues that can cause ADHD symptoms (even if you don’t actually have ADHD) or worsen them.
Obtain releases of information for your other healthcare providers and/or school and other collaterals as needed (so please remember to bring this contact information to your appointment).
If it does not appear to be ADHD, you will receive a thorough explanation of how that conclusion has been reached and we’ll provide you with resources for services appropriate to your unique needs.
If ADHD is revealed, you may be invited, space allowing, to enroll in the Undivided Attention signature ADHD Management Program – Neurodivergence by Design™ which includes The Interest & Identity Series™.
Our signature multi-modal program provides you with dynamic, comprehensive, and holistic support. It includes diagnostic exploration of physical conditions that could impact symptoms and responses to treatment, medication management, psychoeducation, group and individual counseling, and access to supportive neurodivergent community.
The Interest & Identity Series™ is a program that provides information critical to your ability to manage your health. This is a pioneering and paradigm-shifting deep psycho-educational dive into the ADHD and AuDHD nervous system, how it is different from a ‘typical’ nervous-system, and how it impacts your day-day functioning and your general mental and physical health. And finally, what to do about it. This takes place over 6 60-minute sessions (~30 minutes of content followed by ~30 minutes of Q&A) which are offered as virtual small-group sessions.
Our goal is to set you up for the best possible outcomes. The evaluation process, and the management program that follows it, is cutting edge, evidence-based, and designed precisely for this purpose, even if you have previously been evaluated for, and diagnosed with ADHD. The NICE Index
Neurodivergence by Design™ is a tiered, dynamic support program that supports your needs as they change.

In-person sessions tend to be best, but we understand life can get in the way. If Undivided Attention prescribes stimulant medications for you as a part of your ADHD treatment plan, at least 1 in-person visit per year will be required due to Federal and State guidelines surrounding the management of controlled substances. Otherwise, we can work on your ADHD treatment program virtually.
ADHD and Autism are not just brain conditions. Sometimes co-occurring medical conditions, genetic differences, gut microbiome, and nutrient issues can create or worsen the symptoms of ADHD and AuDHD, as well as impact treatment choices. Undivided Attention can help uncover those by ordering and interpreting the appropriate lab work if needed.
