AD/HD Assessment

Overview

ADHD is one of the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorders that often persists into adulthood. It can significantly impact academic, social, and professional functioning.

Early identification is crucial, as untreated ADHD can result in significant sociocultural, academic, employment, relationship, and life coping skill deficits.

Who Should Consider Assessment?

Assessment is appropriate for anyone wondering if they or their child may have ADHD, particularly those experiencing symptoms such as:

• Difficulty maintaining focus
• Impulsive speech or actions
• Interrupting others
• Restlessness or hyperactivity
• Struggles with planning and organization
• Difficulty completing tasks

Assessment Process

Our comprehensive evaluation involves multiple components:

• Clinical interviews
• Standardized testing measuring cognitive abilities and executive functioning
• Review of relevant documents and reports
• Behavioral observation
• Questionnaires completed by clients, parents/guardians, teachers, or family members

Testing measures focus on areas like inhibitory control, working memory, emotional control, sustained attention, and related executive function skills.
