Greetings. I am married to a 46 year old man who was diagnosed and somewhat treated for dyslexia during elementary school. He appears to strongly exhibit symptoms for ADD and possibily ADHD but has not been formally diagnosed for this. These symptoms present challenges to many aspects of our daily lives together, in addition to the frustration that they cause him. Despite past refusal to seek help for this, he is now ready to do so, but we do not know where to turn as we are looking for a professional who can assist us in assessing and understanding the specific "disorder" he has and can then help us with determining a path of treatment or strategies for him/us that can help him become a more effective communicator, generally less frustrated, so that he can become the best man he is capable of being.

Can anyone help us with what type of professional we should seek?
What type of testing I should be looking for, ie. what's it called?
Does insurance usually cover this testing?
What types of treatment do they offer adults with this disorder?

Thanks so much for any insight anyone can offer. It is appreciated.
