Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to join an ADHD program?
Depends on your insurance. Some plans require a referral, while others let you self-refer. Contact your insurance provider to understand your requirements. Many clinics can also help you navigate the process.
How much does an ADHD intake or assessment cost at a program?
Costs vary a lot. An intake or assessment can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on what’s included and your location. Many insurance plans cover some services with a copay or coinsurance. University clinics and training programs may offer lower-cost options. Always verify coverage before scheduling.
What's the difference between an ADHD clinic and a regular therapist?
Some ADHD clinics offer coordinated services—assessment, therapy, skills groups, coaching, and family support—in one place. Regular therapists may also work with ADHD, but they often focus on 1:1 therapy rather than a full program. The best fit depends on what kind of support you're looking for.
Are ADHD summer programs effective?
Many structured summer programs are designed to provide consistent routines, skills practice, and social support. Fit can vary by child, so ask what the program focuses on and how progress is tracked.
Can adults use ADHD programs too?
Yes, many clinics and programs support adults. Adult-focused programs often emphasize workplace challenges, organization systems, accountability, and skills training. Look for programs that clearly state they work with adults, as some centers focus only on kids and teens.
