TOVA Testing for ADHD

We offer the Test of Variables of Attention T.O.V.A. for ADHD for both children and adults

T.O.V.A. Purpose:
A Quantitative Measurement of Attention and Inhibitory Control to aid in the assessment of ADHD

The TOVA is an FDA–cleared state of the art continuous performance test that provides healthcare professionals with objective measurements of attention and inhibitory control. The T.O.V.A aids in the assessment of, and evaluation of treatment for attention deficits, including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. T.O.V.A results are available for children and adults (ages 4-80).

Progressive Paths Therapy offers both the Visual T.O.V.A. and the Auditory T.O.V.A. Each take about 21 minutes to complete in our office.

The results of the TOVA alone is not a diagnosis. The results of the T.O.V.A are to be used in a comprehensive evaluation for ADHD. Our therapists at Progressive Paths Therapy can conduct a diagnostic interview session with you to determine if an ADHD diagnosis is accurate for you or not and provide a brief written report of this. This diagnostic interview may include detailed questions/explanations for you about:

*Your personal and family history regarding ADHD symptoms and possible diagnoses of members of your blood family

*Self-report assessments that you fill out on yourself, and that a spouse/partner/loved one, and/or parent can fill out on you

*Review of ADHD symptoms checklist

*Results of the T.O.V.A.

*Possible referral for a formal psychological evaluation if recommended

ADHD has a complex symptomology. Many factors affect one’s attention, focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity including: stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, learning disabilities, substance use/misuse/abuse, nutrition, family style and organization, abuse or trauma, neurological disorders or differences, traumatic brain injuries, physical disabilities, etc. Getting the right diagnosis, treatment plan, and help is important. We at Progressive Paths Therapy want to partner with you to help you on the best path possible for improving your overall mental health and the quality of life your life.

You may then take these to your health care provider or other mental health professional that is requesting this testing.
