ADHD Assessment
ADHD assessments are specialized evaluations designed to diagnose Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and to understand its impact on an individual's daily life. These assessments investigate various aspects of attention, behaviour, and cognitive functioning to provide a comprehensive picture of how ADHD affects an individual.
​
Key areas of investigation include:
​
Attention and Concentration:
Evaluation of sustained attention, selective attention, and the ability to concentrate on tasks over time.
Impulsivity and Hyperactivity:
Assessment of impulsive behaviours, hyperactive tendencies, and their impact on daily activities and interactions.
Executive Functioning:
Examination of skills such as planning, organization, time management, and self-regulation to understand how ADHD influences these abilities.
​
Behavioural and Emotional Functioning:
Analysis of emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavioural patterns to identify co-occurring issues such as anxiety or mood disorders.
​
Academic / Occupational Impact:
Investigation of how ADHD symptoms affect academic performance, workplace productivity, and overall daily functioning.
​
Developmental and Medical History:
Collection of detailed background information to understand the onset, duration, and context of symptoms.
​
Through a combination of clinical interviews, standardized testing, and behavioural observations, ADHD assessments provide a thorough understanding of the disorder. These insights allow for accurate diagnosis and the development of personalized intervention strategies. By identifying the specific ways in which ADHD manifests, these assessments enable targeted support, helping individuals manage their symptoms and achieve their full potential in both academic and personal spheres.
