ADHD Testing for Children in Staten Island, NY
When your child is struggling with focus, behavior, communication, learning, or social development, it can be difficult to know what is really going on. Some signs may point to ADHD, while others may suggest autism or another developmental concern. At AFFA Diagnostic & Treatment Medical Center, we provide comprehensive ADHD testing in Staten Island, NY, along with autism evaluations and personalized support to help families find clear answers.
Understanding ADHD and Autism in Children
ADHD and autism can look similar, especially in younger children. Trouble sitting still, following directions, managing emotions, communicating, or connecting socially can affect school, friendships, and everyday routines.
Because the two can overlap, our pediatric-focused team looks at your child’s full picture, not just isolated symptoms, to find out whether ADHD, autism, both, or another developmental factor is involved, so your family gets clear answers and a plan that fits.
- Attention and focus
- Impulsivity or self-control
- Social or communication differences
- Sensory or behavioral concerns
- Emotional regulation
