The evaluation process consists of an initial screening evaluation, parent discussion, and parent & child discussion. The screening evaluation form takes about 10 minutes to complete and help us to better understand your child's strengths and challenges. These forms are sent to your email and can be filled out on your phone or computer. There is a form for each parent and one for the teacher. Once filled out, the forms come directly to us so there is no delay in us reviewing the information once collected (and no need to print, mail, etc!). We schedule our parent & parent+child discussions at our office (or virtually) and the visit takes about 60 minutes to discuss, review, and create a plan.

We see children of all ages. Formal evaluations for ADHD can be done as young as age 4 but most children are between ages 5-12 when an evaluation is requested.

We use a range of evaluation tools depending on the specifics of the child, family, and school environment. Typically, this includes Vanderbilt or ADHD-RS forms. All the forms can be filled out and submitted from your phone or computer.

It works best if the child is aware of why they are coming in. We advise parents to focus on the strengths and challenges (your child is well aware of these) and that the focus is on enjoying home life, school, learning, and play even more.

Our pediatric team is well versed in making our visits calm & enjoyable for kids. We make sure that your child feels comfortable & has a positive experience even when discussing difficult challenges or issues we are facing.

Absolutely! All discussions with your child will occur with you present. We will provide for a time during the eval for your child to step out of the room and do some coloring or book reading so we can discuss openly any specific concerns you have.

The cost for the entire screening, evaluation, and consultation is $247. You can pay with credit card, check, or HSA card. We can create a super-bill invoice for you to submit to your insurance company for possible repayment.

Both Dr Boucher and Clara Fynbu Eggert, APRN conduct the evaluations at our office in Lincoln, Nebraska. Dr B has been a pediatrician for over a decade and has seen tens of thousands of patients & families over his career including thousands of visits for attention & focus concerns. NP Clara has advanced training in pediatric mental health and has taken care of children & adults with attention & focus issues for over a decade. Our office is located in southeast Lincoln. Our cozy& quiet pediatric practice environment allows for peace of mind & comfort for parent & child during the evaluation process.

We discuss everything at our visit and will have all the information available at that time including our plan to improve things at school & home.

If your child is diagnosed with ADHD, we will work with you to create a personalized plan to support your child's attention & focus. We will provide resources for your family and a plan for helping your child thrive at school & home. Our clinic focuses on ADHD education, acceptance, support, and works to ensure every child has the support to thrive.

Of course. We will create an action plan and help establish next steps including a report which can be given to your primary physician or school, and any other support you have in place. We can also recommend local resources to support your family and child along with therapists and other ancillary services to help your child & family thrive.

Many parents cannot get needed therapy and support covered until they have a diagnosis and so we do our best to allow parents to quickly get things moving to improve communication, growth, and development.

Some children with attention & focus issues benefit from medications to help with focus, attention, and executive functioning. Both Dr Boucher & NP Clara Fynbu Eggert work to avoid over-prescribing and certainly view medications as one component of the overall treatment plan. Most children should first have strategies put in place at home & school to improve executive functioning skills before starting on medications.
