Comprehensive Diagnostic Clarity for Your Child
An executive functioning or ADHD evaluation at Azana Psychology Center goes far beyond basic behavioral checklists or brief doctor screenings. We conduct a deep, multi-source cognitive assessment to answer the complex questions keeping you up at night:
Many families come to us with questions such as:
- Is it genuinely ADHD, or is it an underlying learning disorder, processing delay, or anxiety factor?
- Why is my child highly capable and bright, yet consistently failing to perform up to their potential in school?
- What specific cognitive, academic, and testing accommodations does my child legally qualify for?
What is a Lifespan ADHD & Executive Functioning Evaluation?
An ADHD evaluation is a deep, comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessment that examines multiple overlapping areas of cognitive and behavioral functioning. Rather than relying on brief, unreliable checklists, Dr. Lesquives conducts an immersive diagnostic process. We look at the whole picture—analyzing attention, executive functioning, processing speed, memory, and emotional factors.
Whether evaluating a child or an adult, our goal is never to just slap on a label. We dive deep to uncover the foundational why behind your struggles so we can equip you with highly accurate, individualized, and actionable recommendations to transform your performance at school, at work, and at home.
Signs an Evaluation May Be Helpful
An evaluation may be helpful if you or your child is experiencing concerns such as:
Academic Underperformance
Your child is bright, but consistently underperforming on tests, missing assignments, or falling behind grade-level expectations
Chronic Disorganization
Struggling with severe time management issues, losing school materials, and experiencing messy, chaotic workspaces
Homework Battles
Daily emotional exhaustion and multi-hour meltdowns at home, just trying to get routine school assignments completed
Executive Dysfunction
Significant difficulty planning ahead, breaking down large projects, initiating tasks, or following multi-step directions
Behavioral & Emotional Frustration
Frequent school outbursts, low frustration tolerance, impulsivity, or classroom disruptions reported by teachers
Inconsistent Performance
Puzzling patterns where a child aces a task one day but completely forgets how to execute the exact same task the next day
Workplace Underperformance
Knowing you are highly capable, yet consistently struggling to meet deadlines, falling behind on projects, or failing to perform up to your true career potential
Adult Executive Dysfunction
Significant difficulty planning complex tasks, organizing household or professional schedules, initiating boring routines, and breaking down long-term goals
Chronic Adult Disorganization
Experiencing a constantly chaotic environment, losing keys/wallets/documents, failing to manage time effectively, and feeling chronically overwhelmed by daily life tasks
Impulsivity & Restlessness
Struggling with internal restlessness, conversational interruptions, impulsive spending or decision-making, and a very low frustration tolerance in stressful environments
Emotional Dysregulation & Fatigue
Experiencing intense frustration over seemingly minor tasks, rapid mood shifts, chronic mental exhaustion, and burnout from masking symptoms all day
Relationship & Social Friction
Struggling with peer interactions in childhood, or facing ongoing communication breakdowns, missed commitments, and chronic misunderstandings in adult relationships
ADHD Across the Lifespan: It’s Never Too Late for Clarity
Whether you are a parent watching your child struggle through school routines, a college student facing intense academic workloads, or an adult feeling completely overwhelmed by the demands of your career and home life—executive functioning challenges are real.
We provide comprehensive, gold-standard diagnostics for children, adolescents, and adults. Our evaluations give you the objective data needed to secure school accommodations (IEPs/504 plans), workplace modifications, or to guide your physician’s medication management plan.
Why a Comprehensive Evaluation Matters
Executive functioning and attention difficulties can stem from a highly complex web of overlapping factors, including ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, processing speeds, or underlying medical conditions. A comprehensive evaluation does not simply catalog your symptoms—it uncovers exactly why they are happening. This allows individuals, professionals, and families to move forward with absolute clarity, confidence, and data-driven recommendations tailored to their precise needs.
We are proudly in-network with Aetna and Cigna, providing expedited evaluation services to clients across Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, and the surrounding Orange County communities.
