Online ADHD testing for children, teens and adults across Ohio

ADHD IQ provides online ADHD evaluations for children, teens, college students and adults anywhere in Ohio. You meet by secure video with Pamela Moss-Samuelson, LISW-S, from our office in Bexley, Columbus. You come away with a clear answer and a written report you can share with your school, college, employer or prescriber.

Who we test in Ohio

We evaluate people at every stage of life. Each age group has its own page with more detail:

  • Children (ages 4 to 12): we work with parents and teachers to understand behavior at home and at school.
  • Teens: we look at focus, organization and mood, and how they affect grades and friendships.
  • College and graduate students: we provide documentation you can take to your campus disability or accessibility office.
  • Adults: many adults were never tested as children. We look at how ADHD affects work, relationships and daily life today.

What an ADHD diagnosis in Ohio involves

An ADHD diagnosis is made by a licensed clinician using the DSM-5-TR criteria. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker with supervision designation (LISW-S), Pamela Moss-Samuelson is licensed to diagnose ADHD in Ohio, and she has specialized in ADHD for 3 decades, including as a Primary Care ADHD Clinician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Your evaluation looks at symptoms in more than one setting, when they started, and how much they get in the way of school, work and home. We also screen for things that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems and learning differences. You get a clear answer, a written diagnostic report, and a feedback session to plan next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is online ADHD testing as valid as in-person testing?
Yes. A thorough ADHD evaluation is based on validated rating scales, a structured clinical interview and information from more than one setting. All of these work well by secure video.

How long does the whole process take?
Most people go from booking to a finished report in two to four weeks. The interview itself takes 60 to 90 minutes.

Do you prescribe ADHD medication?
No. We diagnose and provide therapy and coaching. If medication may help, your report gives your primary care provider or psychiatrist what they need to consider a medication trial.

Can the report be used for school, college or workplace accommodations?
Yes. The written report is detailed and is often used to request a 504 plan or IEP, college accommodations, or workplace adjustments.

Do I need to live in Ohio?
You need to be physically in Ohio, New York or Connecticut at the time of your appointment. We are not able to see clients located in other states.

Looking for support after a diagnosis?
