These experiences ensure competence and diagnostic accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, it is important to administer several different types of tests during an evaluation. This is because symptoms that appear to be associated with one problem can occur for many different reasons. For instance, symptoms of inattention that might appear to be related to a diagnosis of ADHD might actually be related to the presence of a learning disorder or another psychological condition, such as anxiety or depression. Without conducting testing in each of these areas, the true nature of a problem could be overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium color_alternate\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-iconbox iconpos_left style_default color_primary align_left\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:2rem;\"><i class=\"fad fa-shield-check\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\">Best Practices<\/h4><div class=\"w-iconbox-text\"><p>After a careful and complete evaluation, you will have a very good sense of your strengths and weaknesses, and an accurate diagnosis can be made.
