ADHD Evaluation

At Thrive Pediatrics, we understand that every child is unique, and their ability to focus, learn, and manage emotions varies. They have a lot of energy and playing is a priority, and that is normal! However, if you believe your child is experiencing academic and social challenges because of difficulties with attention or hyperactivity, it is important to consider evaluating for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Using standardized assessment tools we can help identify  and develop the best strategies to support your child’s success at school and at home.

What Happens During an ADHD Evaluation?

An ADHD evaluation involves a thorough review of your child’s behavior, development, and medical history in collaboration with your child’s teacher(s). We will assess key areas such as:

  • Attention and Focus
  • Impulse Control
  • Hyperactivity Levels
  • Social and Academic Performance 

What Information is Provided?

After the evaluation, we will discuss:

  • Whether ADHD is likely present and if further testing is needed
  • How ADHD may be affecting your child’s daily life
  • Strategies and treatment options, including behavioral therapy, educational accommodations, and possible medication options
  • Guidance for parents and caregivers to help manage symptoms at home and school

If needed, we will provide referrals to specialists such as child psychologists or behavioral therapists for additional support.

When Should You Schedule an ADHD Evaluation?

If your child is consistently struggling with focus, impulsivity, or hyperactivity, and it is impacting their learning or social interactions, an ADHD evaluation may be beneficial. Signs to watch for include:

  • Difficulty following instructions or completing tasks
  • Frequent forgetfulness or disorganization
  • Impulsive behavior that disrupts activities
  • Challenges in school performance despite strong effort

Early assessment allows for early intervention, which can significantly improve a child’s ability to thrive.

Vision Screens

Good vision is essential for a child’s learning, development, and overall well-being. At Thrive Pediatrics, we offer comprehensive vision screenings to detect potential vision problems early, ensuring your child can see clearly and succeed in school and daily activities.

What Happens During a Vision Screening?

A vision screening is a quick, painless test designed to check your child’s ability to see clearly and detect any early signs of vision problems. During the appointment, we will:

  • Review your child’s vision history to check for risk factors
  • Assess visual acuity (sharpness of vision) using an eye chart
  • Evaluate eye alignment and movement to ensure both eyes work together
  • Check for signs of common vision issues, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or lazy eye (amblyopia)
  • Refer to a specialist if more in-depth testing or corrective lenses are needed

If any concerns arise, we will guide you through the next steps, including referrals to an eye specialist if necessary.

Why Are Vision Screens Important?

Routine vision screenings help:

  • Identify vision issues early before they impact learning and development
  • Detect common problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
  • Support school success by ensuring your child can read, write, and learn effectively
  • Prevent long-term vision difficulties through early intervention and corrective measures

Since many vision problems don’t have obvious symptoms, routine screenings are the best way to ensure your child’s eyes are healthy.

When Should Your Child Have a Vision Screen?

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vision screenings:

  • During infancy as part of early well-child visits
  • At ages 3, 4, and 5 to check for early vision issues
  • Annually from age 6 onward to ensure continued eye health
  • If your child shows signs of vision problems, such as squinting, headaches, or difficulty reading

If your child struggles with schoolwork, frequently rubs their eyes, or complains about blurry vision, it’s time for a screening.
