The Psychology Clinic was established in 2001 as a specialty clinic providing evaluations for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) and Learning Disabilities (LD). The clinic serves as a training facility for the Appalachian State University Department of Psychology and provides opportunities for graduate students to develop assessment skills under the supervision of a licensed practicing psychologist.

The Psychology Clinic offers a range of clinical services to children, adolescents and adults with concerns about AD/HD or learning problems. Because AD/HD is often accompanied by other difficulties, our evaluations include procedures that check for secondary learning, behavioral, emotional, social, and family problems. The assessment model was developed by Dr. Arthur Anastopoulos at UNC-Greensboro. To obtain the most accurate picture of a person’s referral concerns we use a combination of assessement procedures, including diagnostic interviews, parent/teacher questionnaires, self-report questionnaires, psychological tests, behavioral observation, and performance evaluation.
