What is ADHD T.O.V.A. Testing?
Diagnosing ADHD isn’t just about checklists or observation—it’s about objective data. That’s where T.O.V.A. (Test of Variables of Attention) comes in.
The T.O.V.A. is a computerized neuropsychological assessment that measures key areas of attention and impulse control. By tracking how your brain responds to visual or auditory stimuli over time, the test gives us quantitative insight into how your brain is functioning.
This isn’t just another form—it’s a science-backed tool that allows us to better understand:
The presence and severity of ADHD symptoms
Differences in attention, response time, and consistency
How a patient’s brain processes information over time
We use T.O.V.A. to help guide both diagnosis and treatment planning, including medication decisions. For many patients, this test provides reassurance, clarity, and measurable results to back up how they’ve been feeling.
WhatCan You Expect?
01Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
We start with a full mental health assessment to understand symptoms, history, and daily challenges. T.O.V.A. testing is recommended when ADHD is suspected.
02 T.O.V.A. Administration
The test is conducted on a computer in a quiet, controlled setting. It takes about 20–25 minutes and requires sustained attention and response to stimuli. It’s non-invasive, kid-friendly, and easy to follow.
03Clinical Interpretation
Our provider reviews the T.O.V.A. results in detail—comparing your scores to age-appropriate norms and analyzing patterns in your responses.
