At Knight Psychological Institute, we go beyond a simple checklist. We use a comprehensive diagnostic approach to distinguish between ADHD, executive function gaps, and co-occurring social-emotional challenges.
Signs & Symptoms: Does this sound like your child?
Inattentive Signs: Frequent "daydreaming," losing assignments, or difficulty with multi-step instructions.
Hyperactive-Impulsive Signs: A "motor that won't stop," difficulty waiting turns, or frequent interruptions.
Executive Functioning Challenges: Bright students who struggle with "starting" tasks, time management, or organization.
Emotional Regulation: Frequent outbursts or low frustration tolerance when tasks get hard.

Engaging, Objective Testing: We measure cognitive strengths, academic skills, attention, memory, and information processing.
Multi-Perspective Input: With permission, we collect insights from teachers and other professionals to see the full picture.
