My daughter is being reevaluated for her trianual this year. She has an IEP for speech. She also has a central auditory processing disorder which has been diagnosed by an audiologist. I would like to know what tests they should give her so that I can educate myself on what they are for. Please include a complete list of tests for ADHD and auditory memory?

You have to sort out a couple of things – first schools cannot do medical diagnosis AND a medical diagnosis does not meen a student will get services in school.
If you child already has an ADHD diagnosis from a Medical professional (MD) not a nurse practioner or Psychologist, the school will look at the following things (dependent on what was done outside)
IQ – there almost always has to be an IQ test – if one was done by a Psychatrist withint the last year – outside of school School will use a different test or perhaps review the previous results.
Behavior Assesment Scale for Children (BASC)- this is a checklist filled out by you and teacher on what kinds of things bother your child, what behaviors are seen in various settings.
ABAS – is a tool for looking at adaptability – gets to safety concerns, self cares, independence etc. also a checklist for school and home
Academic TEsting – typically a Woodcock Johnson – to look at how the student applies their IQ
Work skills or org skills check list – to see what the issues are in work completion, time on task, organization etc.
Observations in several settings.
Perhaps a Speech/Language screening to get at processing and pragmatic language.
APD is not a disability category that is provided by most states so what they would look at is the impact of the issues on academic functioning. Working memory and processing speed you get out of the IQ and Academic testing.
There would likely be a Sensory Processing set of tools – checklists, observations etc.
That said – in most school districts you also have to have an educational need. So you can have a disability but if you are still passing your coursework – you may not qualify for service.
The key would be is the outside ADHD diagnosis from a medical professional and dated within the last year.
I’m sure there are a ton more but this is what I do and quite typically will give a pretty good overall look at a student.

my doctor referred me to a psychiatrist and she is supposed to test me for ADD/ADHD…
what might be some of the questions she might ask, or what is the procedure for this test and diagnosis?

The question she might ask is:
How often do you get distracted?
Are you organized with work?
Do you get up more than five times in an hour at your office at work or school just to stand up?

I have done my research as well as several online evaluations for Adult ADHD. Every “test” I have taken suggests a proffessional evaluates me. I have a fairly high IQ and consider myself a pretty smart guy. The problem is that I have never been able to concentrate, and it seem that there are 100 thoughts bouncing around in my head at all times. I gave up reading b/c my mind wanders so much that I read the paragraphs 3 or 4 times before I can move on. It affected my college and High school years and defiantly my career. I have read up on ADHD and have discovered that almost every “symptom” discussed is a symptom that I have. However, I cannot seem to find where to start. I live in Ocala FL and would like some help with this. Thanks

I studied a lot about ADD/ADHD (same thing) in college and by what your saying I do believe you have it. But of course make sure you see a trained specialist and not diagnosis yourself. Most people with ADD are very smart people, they just don’t know how to apply there knowledge when they need too. Nothing wrong with that because your probably really creative and have a lot of great ideas, A great trait to have. ADD has nothing to do with how smart you are so don’t let that bother you.
You’ll just get medication to help you focus which most ADD people see the first day they take it (I did!). It will really help you in life trust me.
Most people describe it by putting on glasses on for the first time and that is true.
Good luck!
