ADHD diagnoses and IEPs

Hello!

I'm an LCSW working in a private group practice. Something that has always made me scratch my head a bit are clients that come in requesting diagnoses for IEPs.

I feel confident in being able to identify most client's diagnoses. However, I've recently seen an influx of young adults inquiring about ADHD and ASD diagnoses. Most of the time my clients and I talk through their desire to be diagnosed and what that would mean for them. However, some clients come in with papers for accommodations.

I've never felt like I quite know what to do with those. I can provide a diagnosis and complete a diagnostic interview, but I don't do any metrics based testing which most of these papers request. I'm accustomed to redirecting towards schools to facilitate but it's not the same with Universities. How are you all navigating these requests?
