Brown Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders

The Brown ADHD Clinic offers comprehensive psychological diagnostic evaluation for children, teenagers and adults who are seeking assessments for ADHD and/or related problems. We serve new patients from 3 years old to over 70 years old, locally to internationally. We also offer short-term or ongoing longer-term treatment tailored to the needs of each patient.
All new patients to our clinic, regardless of prior diagnosis, are first scheduled for an intake call to become registered patients and then scheduled for a 3-hour initial consultation for ADHD & related problems. Initial evaluations can be scheduled with either Dr. Brown or Dr. Kennedy and are currently offered in-person or via tele-health using Zoom due to COVID. Initial consultations with Dr. Brown or Dr. Kennedy, both begin with a clinical interview with the patient. We encourage new patients under 18 to come with at least one parent; for any new adult patients we encourage you to come with a spouse, family member or close friend to provide additional perspective of the patient's presenting difficulties. The initial assessment includes the Brown Executive Function/Attention Rating Scales (patients will be given a copy of that report by the end of the appointment). Additionally, patients are also assessed with cognitive measures of short-term working memory, and screening for possible related problems. Near the end of the consultation, your doctor will share their diagnostic impression from the initial consultation and will offer recommendations for treatment and/or follow-ups, with time reserved to answer questions and share information to educate patients and their families about ADHD.
