Kids who are struggling, bored, frustrated, or even doing “fine” can all benefit from IQ testing. Sometimes bright kids or good students struggle in ways that are easy to miss. A cognitive profile that is interpreted well can offer insights that are otherwise unattainable. Results from dyslexia, autism, and ADHD evaluations that do not include IQ testing are incomplete, often result in the wrong diagnosis, and too often lead families on a wild goose chase.

Too often, people think of ADHD as a matter of willpower or behavior alone, but decades of neuroscience research show that differences in attention, impulse control, and motivation are rooted in real neurological processes.

ADHD is a highly complex disorder, and diagnosis should only be made after careful evaluation by a psychologist or other qualified professional.
