NeuroFunction™ for Employers & EAPs | Dr. Joanne Psychiatry For Employers, HR Leaders & EAP PartnersThe condition your benefits
plan is paying for,
but not treating.ADHD affects an estimated 16% of the adult workforce, and most cases are undiagnosed. It drives presenteeism, absenteeism, turnover, and manager burden that never surface on a claims report. NeuroFunction™ Skills Training is a clinician-led program that closes the gap standard EAPs leave open.

Medication addresses the neurochemistry. Standard EAP counseling offers a handful of general sessions. Neither builds the durable, day-to-day skills that determine whether an employee with ADHD can actually function at work. That is the gap, and it is where the costs live.
What EAPs leave open
Standard EAP counseling provides 3 to 8 general sessions. ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition that does not resolve in a few supportive visits.
- No neurocognitive assessment of the specific deficits driving impairment
- No ADHD-specific, structured skills curriculum
- No measurement of functional outcomes over time
- No workplace-integration or accommodation framework
Medication improves the neurology. Skills training builds the function. Most plans fund only the first.
What NeuroFunction™ delivers
A 12-week, psychiatric nurse practitioner-led cognitive skills program built from each employee's individual neurocognitive profile.
- Neurocognitive testing across 13 domains anchors every plan
- Structured 12-week curriculum targeting executive function
- Three formal reassessments document measurable progress
- Delivered individually via HIPAA-compliant telemedicine
Clinician-led. Data-driven. Outcomes you can report to leadership, not just hope for.
The Business CaseThe cost is already on your books. It is just invisible.
Untreated ADHD generates diffuse, compounding costs that never appear on a behavioral-health claims report. Here is the conservative math at three organization sizes.
Workforce size Est. affected (8%) Annual ADHD cost Net savings potential 100 employees 8 $872,000 $840,000 500 employees 40 $4,360,000 $4,200,000 1,000 employees 80 $8,720,000 $8,400,000 Illustrative estimates. Assumes 8% prevalence and a conservative $10,900 annual productivity cost per affected employee, against program enrollment for the affected group. Actual figures vary by organization.
The Program at a GlanceThree phases. Twelve weeks. One measurable outcome.
Every employee's program is anchored to their individual neurocognitive testing, not generic ADHD advice. Each phase builds on the last, from foundational self-knowledge to advanced executive function to real-world workplace integration.
Phase IFoundation
Weeks 1–4. Brain mapping, attention management, memory systems, and cognitive energy, the groundwork every later strategy depends on.
Phase IIExecutive Function
Weeks 5–8. Planning, task initiation, emotional regulation, and sensory strategy. A formal reassessment at Week 6 measures early progress.
Phase IIIIntegration
Weeks 9–12. Skills applied to work, home, and identity, plus a relapse-prevention plan and a complete cognitive toolkit the employee keeps.
Working TogetherFlexible partnership models, and a compliance upside.
Partnership models
- EAP referral arrangement for diagnosed employees
- Employer-sponsored enrollment (per-employee or PEPM)
- Pilot cohort with aggregate outcome reporting
- Lunch-and-learn and manager neurodiversity training add-ons
The compliance angle
Under the ADA as amended, ADHD is a qualifying disability in most cases, and employers are obligated to provide reasonable accommodations. Offering a clinical skills program supports affected employees, strengthens your accommodation process, and demonstrates good-faith engagement, reducing both impairment and legal exposure.
