Neuropsych ADHD Testing in Davis County
Neuropsychological testing for ADHD provides a detailed map of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Unlike a simple screening, this evaluation measures attention, processing speed, working memory, executive functioning (the mental processes that help you plan, focus, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks simultaneously), and impulse control through standardized tests.
This level of testing is especially valuable for complex cases — when ADHD co-occurs with learning disabilities, anxiety, brain injury, or giftedness. It reveals whether attention difficulties stem from ADHD, another condition, or a combination. For patients requiring structured support alongside testing, CPS offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP — a structured treatment program involving several hours of therapy per week).
Our psychologists use validated neuropsychological test batteries selected for each patient's age and presenting concerns. Results inform medication decisions, therapy approaches, and academic or workplace accommodations.
