ADD, or attention deficit disorder, is an older term that may appear in historical medical or educational records, but it is not the current formal diagnostic name. Current terminology uses attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including a predominantly inattentive presentation for people whose symptoms primarily involve inattention. When interpreting an older ADD diagnosis, the symptoms and diagnostic criteria documented at that time should be considered rather than assuming that the historical label corresponds exactly to a current ADHD presentation.
Relevant information may include clinical interviews, standardized symptom rating scales, developmental history, school or employment records, treatment notes, medication history, and observations from people familiar with the individual in different settings. Comparing information across time and settings can help determine whether attention and organizational difficulties were persistent, functionally significant, and present in more than one environment.
Sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, learning disorders, substance use, medication effects, and other medical or psychiatric conditions can contribute to concentration or organizational difficulties. The timing and pattern of symptoms may be compared with the person’s developmental, medical, psychiatric, and behavioral history to determine whether ADHD, another condition, or multiple contributing factors best explain the difficulties.
No. Neuropsychological testing can provide information about attention, working memory, processing speed, executive function, learning, and other cognitive abilities, but it is not a stand-alone diagnostic test for ADHD. Results are interpreted alongside developmental history, symptoms across settings, functional impairment, clinical interviews, and other relevant evidence. Neuropsychological testing may also help identify cognitive strengths, weaknesses, or coexisting learning problems.

Provide Deposition Testimony
Explains findings and opinions under oath and responds to questioning during deposition testimony.
Testify in Court
Presents specialized findings and opinions clearly to judges, juries, arbitrators, or other decision-makers.
Report cards, teacher observations, accommodation plans, educational testing, attendance or disciplinary records, and descriptions of classroom performance may provide evidence about attention, organization, and functioning during childhood. These records can be particularly informative when ADHD is first diagnosed in adulthood because current diagnostic criteria require evidence that relevant symptoms were present before age 12. School records can support that developmental history, but they do not by themselves establish the precise onset or cause of the symptoms.
