ADHD Assessment
Difficulties with attention, forgetfulness, fidgeting and hyperactivity are all everyday experiences for children and young people. However, these difficulties can also lead to challenges for children, adolescents, and adults and can interfere with their ability to progress at school/work or to regulate their emotions. This may be suggestive of ADHD.
Other tell-tale signs might warrant a formal assessment of ADHD:
- Unexplained underachievement
- A wandering mind
- Trouble organising and planning
- A high degree of creativity and imagination
- Trouble with time management and a tendency to procrastinate
- A strong will, stubbornness and refusal to help.
- A unique and active sense of humour
- Trouble sharing and playing with others
- Sensitivity to criticism or rejection
- Impulsiveness and impatience
- High energy levels
- Susceptibility to compulsive behaviours
What happens in the assessment?
Our ADHD assessment is a multi-step process involving questionnaires, conversations with you, your child, and your child’s school, observations, and structured assessments. If you’re being assessed as an adult, it will be with you and possibly someone who has known you as a child. Our highly experienced and professional team completes our assessments. We work hard to ensure that assessments include all the relevant information to achieve the best outcome for your child or yourself.
A comprehensive face-to-face appointment will take place. We use multiple assessment tools with you and your child.
These include:
- The ACE clinical interview is the gold-standard structured interview for assessing the core symptoms of ADHD and the extent to which they impair functioning.
- The Connors Questionnaire: A thorough assessment of symptoms and impairments associated with ADHD and common co-occurring problems in children and young people.
- School visit if needed (included in the price).
We will also review any previous correspondence you may have received from school or other services.
