What to Expect
Why families trust
Dr. Tish Taylor
for their child's ADHD testing in Overland Park
With over 25 years of experience specializing in childhood ADHD, Dr. Tish has evaluated thousands of children. She understands that ADHD doesn’t look the same in every child, nor do children always respond to the same strategies.
Her evaluations are trusted by school districts across the Kansas City area, including Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, and Olathe, because they’re comprehensive, individualized, and actionable. She doesn’t rely on checklists; she takes time to understand your child’s unique brain, strengths, and challenges. Along the way, she equips parents with the knowledge they need, explaining how ADHD works, what helps, and how to advocate effectively.
Because ADHD rarely travels alone, she also checks for related concerns like anxiety, learning differences, and executive function struggles to give you the full picture. Most importantly, you’ll leave with clear answers and strategies you can use right away, in school, at home, and in daily life.
Faq.
A quick screening can flag symptoms, but it cannot explain the full picture like a comprehensive evaluation can. It looks at history, behavior across settings, executive functioning, thinking skills, and related concerns. ADHD testing in Overland Park should do more than suggest a possibility. It should help you understand what fits, what does not, and what your child needs next.
The right age for ADHD evaluation depends on the child and the concerns you are seeing. For many families, the need becomes clear when school demands increase and problems with focus, impulse control, organization, or work completion start affecting daily life. You don’t need to wait until things get worse. When the pattern is clear, an evaluation can help you act sooner.
Yes, it can resemble other issues. Anxiety, learning disabilities, sleep issues, and stress can all affect attention and behavior. That is why a thorough process matters. We don’t stop at the first explanation that sounds possible. We look at your child’s full pattern of behavior so families understand whether ADHD fits best, whether another issue explains their struggles better, or whether multiple concerns overlap.
Yes, our determinations can help define proper positive school accommodations. If our findings support it, the written report can help families talk with school teams about accommodations, classroom strategies, and other supports. Many parents pursue ADHD testing because they need both clarity and documentation. The goal is to give you practical guidance that helps teachers understand what your child needs and why.
If Dr. Taylor diagnoses your child with ADHD, you’ll leave with more than just a new label. You’ll head back into your day-to-day life with a better understanding of your child’s profile, including strengths, challenges, and practical next steps. We’ll explain the findings, in plain language, and outline recommendations for home, school, and follow-up services when needed. That clarity often helps parents move from frustration to a more confident plan.
No, I’m a licensed child psychologist and do not prescribe medication. However, our evaluation can give you the documentation and clinical information needed for conversations with a pediatrician or psychiatrist. That often helps families make better decisions about treatment and next steps after ADHD testing in Overland Park.
