It’s not too late to finally understand why things have always been hard.

Adult ADHD looks different from what most people picture. It’s not always hyperactivity, it’s missed deadlines, a thousand browser tabs, chronic underperformance despite real intelligence, relationships strained by forgetfulness, and a lifelong sense of trying harder than everyone else just to keep up. It’s frequently anxiety or depression on top of undiagnosed ADHD. It’s often more visible in women’s emotional experience than in the behavioral presentations historically used to diagnose.

A thorough adult ADHD evaluation rules out competing explanations, assesses executive functioning in depth, and provides documentation for workplace accommodations, academic accommodations, and medication management. We don’t diagnose from a rating scale alone, we build a complete clinical picture.

Many adults pursuing an autism evaluation reach us after a child’s diagnosis prompted them to look at themselves differently, or after years of social exhaustion, sensory overwhelm, and a persistent sense of being fundamentally different from the people around them without knowing why. We see a significant number of women in this group, because autism in women and girls is still frequently missed by clinicians trained on outdated male-skewed profiles.

Adult autism evaluation at CCFC includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized assessment instruments designed for adults, review of developmental and clinical history, and a comprehensive report. We approach late-identified autism with the understanding that adults have often developed sophisticated coping and masking strategies that can obscure the picture, and we evaluate accordingly.

Sometimes the question isn’t whether you have ADHD or autism, it’s “what is actually going on?” A comprehensive psychological evaluation provides that broader picture: cognitive functioning, emotional and personality assessment, diagnostic clarification across multiple domains, and treatment recommendations that actually fit what’s happening.

This evaluation is also useful when an existing diagnosis no longer seems to explain your experience, when multiple overlapping concerns haven’t been well-integrated, or when previous treatment hasn’t produced the results you expected and you want to understand why.

Graduate and professional licensing organizations require current, comprehensive psychoeducational documentation to grant testing accommodations such as extended time, separate testing environments, or assistive technology. Our evaluations are written to meet the specific documentation standards of these organizations, including College Board, ETS, LSAC, NBME, and state bar associations.

We also provide workplace accommodation documentation under the ADA for adults who need formal support for modifications at work. Our reports are written with the specific language these organizations require, not generic clinical language that may not meet their standards.

Cognitive screening for older adults evaluates memory, attention, processing speed, executive functioning, language, and visuospatial abilities. It is appropriate when you or someone close to you has noticed changes in memory, word-finding, organization, or daily functioning, and you want to understand whether those changes are within normal aging, represent mild cognitive impairment, or warrant further evaluation.

A cognitive screening at CCFC can establish a baseline for future comparison, identify specific areas of concern, and guide recommendations for follow-up medical evaluation, neuropsychological assessment, or community support services. Our evaluator approaches cognitive screening with sensitivity to the anxiety families often bring to this process.
