ADHD support in Atkinson
Parents of students at Atkinson Academy and Timberlane Regional High School often ask us about homework, focus and accommodations. Among adults, commuters to Salem, Derry and Massachusetts sometimes find that organization gets harder as responsibilities grow.

Adults diagnosed later in life
Many adults are diagnosed after a child's evaluation helps them recognize the same pattern in themselves, or when a new job or parenting stretches organization to its limit.
Care for the Atkinson community
Atkinson is a small residential town on the Massachusetts line, just a short drive from our Salem office. Many residents work in Massachusetts, so in-person visits in Salem or video visits from home in New Hampshire are both common.
How we evaluate ADHD
- Rating scales from the patient, parents, teachers or a partner
- A history of attention and behavior from early childhood onward
- Screening for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and learning issues that can look like ADHD
- Review of report cards or past testing when available
Getting care from Atkinson
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 15 to 20 minutes from Atkinson, so in-person visits are practical. Many Atkinson patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
Frequently asked questions
Do teachers need to fill in forms?
For children it is very helpful. We provide the forms.
Can adults be evaluated for ADHD?
Yes, we evaluate adults up to age 65.
Do you write accommodation letters?
When the evaluation supports it, yes.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Massachusetts?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
