High-Stakes ADHD & Learning Disability Evaluations
Precision. Clarity. Real answers.
Psychological testing with Dr. Jenny Shields.
Not all ADHD and learning disability evaluations are created equal.
If you’re here, you’re probably tired of being dismissed or misunderstood. Maybe you’ve struggled for years with focus, burnout, or overwhelm—issues that everyone calls “just stress.” Or you’re prepping for the MCAT and need accommodations that will hold up under scrutiny.
You’ve achieved success by being thorough and strategic.
When it comes to understanding your own mind, you deserve the same level of rigor.
You don’t need another checklist evaluation.
You need an assessment that gives you clarity.
High-achievers often describe…
Finally hitting a wall after years of overcompensating for something they couldn’t name
Needing rock-solid documentation for professional licensing boards or graduate school accommodations
Being told they’re “too smart to have ADHD”
Having childhood testing that no longer reflects where they are now
Wondering if ADHD explains why work can feel so much harder than it should
And if you’re a woman who doesn’t fit the ADHD stereotype, you may have been told it’s “just anxiety” or “perfectionism.”
Many high-achieving women spend years with sophisticated workarounds. But ADHD in women often shows up as overwhelm and executive functioning challenges (not the bouncing-off-walls image most providers expect).
What if you could finally understand why work feels so much harder than it should?
I specialize in evaluating high-achieving adults who don’t fit the typical ADHD or learning differences profile—because these conditions show up differently in driven professionals.
This isn’t about whether you “have ADHD.” It’s about understanding why life has felt the way it has—and what can actually help.
Why High Achievers Choose Me For Assessments
Doctor-Led from Start to Finish
Unlike clinics where students or techs do the testing, I handle every part of your evaluation—interview, testing, interpretation, and report writing. No hand-offs or shortcuts.
Built for High-Stakes Contexts
You choose the documentation level—minimal for privacy, or comprehensive for licensing boards and testing accommodations.
Understanding of High-Performance Presentations
I recognize that ADHD in high achievers often looks like perfectionism, burnout, or “just being overwhelmed.” I know how to spot these patterns and translate them into useful next steps.
You deserve more than a diagnosis. You deserve understanding.
Too many evaluations stop at a label. I connect the dots between your history, strengths, and challenges—then translate everything into practical recommendations.
Whether you need clarity for yourself, treatment planning, or testing accommodations, this is an evaluation built for nuance and grounded in clinical excellence.

Documentation For Every Exam
Navigating accommodation requirements can be complex. My evaluations are tailored to meet the specific, rigorous standards of high-stakes testing boards, universities, and workplaces, ensuring you have defensible documentation when you need it most.
I know exactly what law school admissions and bar examiners are looking for. My evaluations give you the clear diagnostic picture and strong clinical rationale you need to get accommodations approved. Your documentation will be defensible and meet all board standards.
Medical boards have strict standards—they want detailed proof that you need accommodations. I know what MCAT, USMLE, COMLEX, and NBME review committees are looking for. My evaluations clearly show how your condition affects test performance, giving you the rigorous documentation you need to get approved.
Graduate programs and professional certifications like the GRE, GMAT, CPA, and CFP require well-documented psychological evaluations for accommodations. My assessments provide the depth and clarity needed to demonstrate you qualify for extra time or other necessary accommodations, meeting each board’s strict documentation guidelines.
Colleges and universities require comprehensive neuropsychological assessments to approve accommodations for ADHD and learning disabilities. Whether you need extended time, reduced-distraction environments, or other academic accommodations, my evaluations meet institutional and ADA compliance requirements.
Getting workplace accommodations under the ADA requires strong, evidence-based documentation that shows how your condition affects job performance. My evaluations provide clear, workplace-relevant recommendations to support accommodation requests for law firms, medical institutions, corporate settings, and professional licensing boards.
Questions High-Achievers Often Ask About Assessments
Yes. Many of my clients are high-achieving women who were previously misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression, or went undiagnosed because they could sit still. I understand how ADHD presents differently in women and adults who’ve developed sophisticated coping strategies. This includes recognizing how inattention impacts relationships, memory, and work performance in ways that don’t fit the typical “hyperactive child” profile.
Yes. My comprehensive ADHD evaluations meet documentation requirements for the LSAT, GRE, MCAT, GMAT, Bar Exam, EPPP, and other high-stakes exams. I tailor each report to your specific exam board’s expectations—so you know you have what’s needed.
Most clients get their completed report within 4-6 weeks of testing. Need it faster? I offer rush turnaround (5-7 business days) for an additional fee.
It depends, but most likely. Most boards require updated documentation within the past 3-5 years. I offer a specialized re-evaluation package that skips unnecessary testing while still meeting current standards.
