Letters and accommodations
If the evaluation supports it, we can write letters requesting accommodations such as extra time on tests or a quieter workspace.

ADHD support in Dover
Parents of students at Dover High School and Dover Middle School often ask us about homework, focus and accommodations. Among adults, healthcare staff, manufacturing workers and commuters to Portsmouth and the Pease Tradeport sometimes find that organization gets harder as responsibilities grow.
Care for the Dover community
Dover's mix of historic mill buildings, a growing downtown and family neighborhoods attracts people who work across the Seacoast. Many residents commute to Portsmouth or toward Boston, and some work in Maine. Video visits are a natural fit, as long as the visit happens while you are in New Hampshire.
Steps in an ADHD evaluation
- Rating scales completed by you and, for children, parents and teachers
- A history of attention and behavior since early childhood
- Screening for anxiety, depression, sleep and learning problems
- A review of report cards or earlier testing
Getting care from Dover
From Dover, our Salem office is about 50 minutes to an hour by car. Many Dover patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Is ADHD overdiagnosed?
A careful evaluation helps avoid both missed and incorrect diagnoses.
Do you write accommodation letters?
When the evaluation supports it, yes.
Can adults be evaluated for ADHD?
Yes, we evaluate adults up to age 65.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Maine?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
