Neuropsych ADHD Testing in Utah

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.

Serving patients across the state of Utah with three convenient office locations in Salt Lake City, Layton, and West Jordan. To schedule a neuropsych adhd testing appointment, call us at (801) 483-1600 or visit our Salt Lake City office at 1208 East 3300 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84106.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is neuropsychological testing different from a regular ADHD evaluation?
Neuropsychological testing provides a broader and deeper cognitive assessment. It maps attention, memory, language, processing speed, and executive function — giving a complete picture rather than just an ADHD yes/no.
Who should get neuropsychological testing for ADHD?
Anyone with complex symptoms, suspected co-occurring conditions, or who needs detailed cognitive data for treatment planning, legal matters, or academic accommodations.
Is this covered by insurance?
Most major insurance plans cover neuropsychological testing when medically necessary. We verify benefits before scheduling.
How long until I get results?
Reports are typically completed within 2–3 weeks. A feedback session is scheduled to review findings and answer questions.
