📝 New on the Blog: Will My Insurance Cover an ADHD Assessment?

We know the decision to get assessed for ADHD is a big one—and questions about cost or insurance can make it feel even bigger. You’re not alone in wondering what’s covered (and what’s not).

In this post, we walk you through:
• What to ask your insurance provider
• How to make the most of your coverage
• Tips if a full assessment isn’t accessible right now
• Why many families and adults tell us it’s worth it—covered or not

💛 No pressure. Just clarity, support, and a gentle guide to help you explore your options.

ADHD isn’t something you beat. It’s something you learn to live and thrive with — on your own terms.

After co-founding Springboard Clinic in 2009, Laura MacNiven has spent years supporting individuals trying to make sense of their minds, habits, and life directions. If she's an expert in anything, it’s ADHD (and maybe making strong coffee).

Living with ADHD isn’t about “fixing” yourself once and for all. It’s an ongoing process of learning, unlearning, radical acceptance — and sometimes trudging through the swamp of shame.

That’s why Laura created Living & Thriving with Adult ADHD, a self-paced course designed to help you step back, gather data about your life, and figure out what actually works for you.

💡 You don’t need an ADHD diagnosis — just curiosity and a willingness to look at your life with fresh eyes.

The course includes three individual coaching sessions with Laura and a toolkit you can come back to again and again.

If you’re ready to explore new ways of showing up for yourself, we'd love to support you.

Summer discount available until August 30th, 2025 (code: SUMMERJUMPSTART).

Looking for support as an adult with ADHD? Laura shares the story behind creating an online course designed to adapt to your unique needs.

ADHD often coexists with other challenges like anxiety, depression or learning differences.

📊 In fact, 80% of adults and 44% of children with ADHD have at least one co-occuring mental health condition (source: CADDAC).

At Springboard, we don't just screen for ADHD – we evaluate the whole picture, including common co-occuring conditions. Because understanding the full story leads to better support.

ADHD doesn’t look one way. It can be loud or quiet, energized or exhausted, distracted or hyper-focused. It shows up in kids who can’t sit still — and in adults who never speak up in meetings. It can fuel creativity and innovation, while also making the basics feel overwhelming.

These are just a few of the stories we see.
If you recognize yourself here, you’re not alone.

At Springboard, we see the full picture — and we’re here to help you see it too. Everyone’s brain is different. Let’s celebrate that.
