Why should you get an ADHD assessment?

• An accurate diagnosis can help guide effective treatment and can help make adjustments in various domains such as work, study, and at home.
• If you suspect that you or your child have symptoms, but aren’t sure, a formal assessment can help rule out or help confirm a self-diagnosis.
• An assessment can help someone view themselves in a new light. An assessment can help them to understand and accept past challenges and identify and appreciate their strengths.
• It can help to communicate their experience to others.
• Upon completion of an assessment, a detailed report is provided.

What does an ADHD assessment involve?

We offer two types of ADHD assessments: A brief assessment or a comprehensive assessment. These are suitable for children (aged 5 – 17 years) and adults (18+). Both assessment types assist in the diagnosis of ADHD. The comprehensive assessment also assesses intellectual ability, which can provide more information and help further inform recommendations and assist with treatment planning.  An ADHD Assessment will involve:

• An initial 50-minute session to collect relevant background information.
• A one to two-hour assessment session will involve the completion of a number of questionnaires and a semi-structured interview about possible ADHD and related symptoms, and an individual’s ability to prioritise tasks, filter distractions, and control impulses. A comprehensive ADHD assessment will also involve a number of activities to assess intellectual ability.
• A 50-minute feedback session will be provided to explain the results, recommendations, and explore any feelings that may arise from the assessment. It also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions and discuss the next steps.
• A detailed report of the assessment will be provided within six weeks of the assessment session.
