ADHD Testing with T.O.V.A. in Hagerstown, MD
Accurate, Objective ADHD Evaluation at BT Healing Center
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It often presents with symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior, which can interfere with daily life, academic performance, relationships, and work.
At BT Healing Center in Hagerstown, Maryland, we offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations, including the Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.)โa gold-standard computerized assessment tool designed to support accurate ADHD diagnoses.
๐ง What Is the TOVA Test?
The Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.) is a computer-based, FDA-cleared diagnostic tool used to objectively measure attention-related abilities. It assesses:
Sustained attention
Response time variability
Impulsivity
Cognitive processing speed
Unlike traditional screening methods, the T.O.V.A. provides quantifiable data that supports clinical observations and patient-reported symptoms. It is non-invasive, easy to administer, and suitable for both children and adults.
