ADHD Evaluation in Reading, MA
ADHD does not only affect children. Many adults first seek an ADHD evaluation when growing responsibilities at work or at home make long-standing focus problems impossible to ignore.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Reading, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Reading's strong school community means we often see parents seeking evaluations for teens as well as adults balancing commutes along I-93 and Route 128.
Adhd evaluation for Reading patients: who it helps
People from Reading come to us for ADHD evaluation for many reasons, including:
- Children whose teachers report attention or behavior concerns
- Teens struggling with organization, deadlines or grades
- Adults with chronic procrastination, disorganization or missed deadlines
- People who were diagnosed as children and want a reassessment
- Patients wondering whether anxiety, mood or sleep issues explain their focus problems
What to expect
- History and rating scales: We gather developmental, school and work history and use validated ADHD rating scales — often including input from parents, teachers or a partner.
- Clinical interview: A detailed interview explores symptoms, when they began, how they affect daily life and other possible explanations.
- Screening for related conditions: Anxiety, depression, learning differences, substance use and sleep disorders are reviewed, because they often co-occur with or mimic ADHD.
- Results and treatment options: You receive a clear explanation and options that may include behavioral strategies, school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals and, when appropriate, medication.

Frequently asked questions about ADHD evaluation in Reading
Do you have an office in Reading?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Reading patients typically reach our Lexington office in about 20 minutes by taking I-95/Route 128 south toward Burlington. Many Reading patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
Do you evaluate adults for ADHD?
Yes. We evaluate adults as well as children and adolescents.
Will I be prescribed stimulant medication?
Only if it is clinically appropriate after a full evaluation. Stimulants are controlled medications, so they require careful screening, regular follow-up and in some cases an in-person visit.
What should I bring?
Old report cards, prior evaluations or testing, and a list of current medications are all helpful. For children, teacher feedback is valuable.
Can I get ADHD evaluation by telehealth from Reading?
In many cases, yes. Reading residents can often complete visits by secure video from home or work in Massachusetts. Your clinician may recommend an in-office visit in Lexington when that would be more helpful.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
