Support Starts Here: Help Your Student Take the First Step Toward Clarity

half-yellow-wave-donut

Santa Barbara City College’s Disability Services and Programs for Students has partnered with ADHD Online to offer students access to a no-cost, clinically validated diagnostic evaluation*. The evaluation is completed online, and the results are available in just 5 days.

As a counselor or referring provider, you are a key part of your student’s support system. This assessment provides a clear path forward for students struggling with focus, organization, or attention challenges, often without knowing why.

What to expect next

Once you complete this referral form, your student will receive a secure email invitation to create their ADHD Online portal account and begin their assessment. A licensed psychologist reviews the evaluation, and results are delivered directly to the student and your department within 5 business days.

This streamlined process helps your team gain diagnostic insight that can support access to services, accommodations, or additional care coordination.

Fill out the referral form below

You’ll provide the student’s basic information and referral details.

Student receives assessment access

Once you submit the form, the student will receive an email prompting them to create their ADHD Online portal account using their SBCC email.

Student completes the assessment

The student will complete the assessment at their own pace (typically 60–90 minutes) and submit it for clinical review. They can stop and start the evaluation as needed.

Results are delivered within 5 days

A California-licensed psychologist will evaluate the responses and generate a comprehensive report. A pdf is sent directly to the student.

You help the student take the next step

Once the report is available, you or your team can meet with the student to review their results and develop a personalized academic or treatment support plan.

Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant approaches?

If you’re navigating ADHD or other mental health challenges, you have options. At Mentavi Health / ADHD Online, we assess what works for you. 
Some may start with non-medicated approaches like coaching or therapy.  In other cases, patients may explore medication treatment paths when warranted by diagnosis. For some diagnosed with ADHD, the treatment clinician may work with the patient to determine if stimulant approaches work best for them. Stimulant approaches are certain medications under medical treatment that are generally Class II controlled substances. Non-stimulant options are another approach that can work for many.  Medication approaches can be used in tandem with coaching or therapy. 
 
The key is starting with our diagnostic evaluation, which is reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional. Getting clarity on what you’re experiencing is the first step toward feeling more in control. From there, you and your treatment team can determine the best path—whether that’s coaching, therapy, medication, or a combination that works for your life. 
 
If you’re not feeling right, let us walk alongside you by starting with the diagnostic evaluation.
There may be a brief delay in service today between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM ET. Thank you for your patience — we look forward to assisting you shortly.
