Adult ADHD Testing
in Daphne, Alabama
A structured, in-person evaluation for adults who want clarity about attention, focus, and executive function. Written diagnostic report and review session included. No referral required.
ADHD doesn't disappear after childhood
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is widely recognized as a childhood diagnosis, but a substantial body of research confirms that ADHD persists into adulthood for a majority of those diagnosed as children — and that many adults reach adulthood without ever having been identified at all.
In adults, ADHD often presents differently than in children. Hyperactivity may become internal restlessness. Inattention shows up as chronic disorganization, difficulty following through on tasks, losing track of conversations, or struggling to manage time. Executive function difficulties — planning, prioritizing, initiating — can affect work performance, relationships, and overall quality of life.
These struggles are real, often significant, and frequently misattributed to laziness, anxiety, or personality. A formal evaluation provides clarity — and clarity is the foundation of effective support.
Research estimates that roughly 4–5% of adults in the United States meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, though many remain undiagnosed. Adults with untreated ADHD experience higher rates of occupational difficulty, relationship stress, and co-occurring anxiety and depression.
American Psychiatric Association, DSM-5-TR; Fayyad et al., World PsychiatryCommon signs adults seek evaluation for:
- Chronic difficulty completing tasks or following through
- Persistent problems with time management and deadlines
- Forgetfulness and losing track of important items
- Difficulty sustaining focus during reading or meetings
- Impulsive decision-making or speaking
- Internal restlessness or inability to relax
- Long history of underperformance despite intelligence
- Difficulty organizing tasks or prioritizing work
What the evaluation includes
Calli uses a structured, evidence-informed evaluation process combining clinical interview with objective performance-based testing. The entire process takes approximately two hours in person at the Daphne office.
The Conner's Continuous Performance Test
The Conner's Continuous Performance Test (Conner's CPT) is a validated, computerized neuropsychological assessment that measures attention and inhibitory control in a standardized, objective format. It is widely used in clinical and research settings as a component of adult ADHD evaluation.
During the test, you respond to stimuli presented on a screen over a set period. The test measures response speed, consistency, omission errors (inattention), and commission errors (impulsivity) — generating an objective performance profile that supplements the clinical interview.
The Conner's CPT does not diagnose ADHD on its own. It is interpreted alongside the structured clinical interview, history, and presenting concerns to form a complete clinical picture. This is consistent with best-practice guidelines for adult ADHD evaluation.
Best-practice guidelines for adult ADHD diagnosis include a comprehensive clinical interview, review of symptom history across settings, and objective performance measures. No single test is considered sufficient for diagnosis in isolation.
