Our ADHD Assessment can be combined with an Autism Assessment. This provides our customers with a significant reduction in costs compared to completing the programs separately.

Gaining a diagnosis for Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) involves a comprehensive assessment which typically includes:

Initial clinical interview: Gathering background information such as developmental, social, behavioural, and educational history. 

Questionnaires: Assessing hyperactivity, aggression, conduct problems, as well as anxiety, depression, attention and learning problems, and any lack of certain essential skills to rule out any other possible causes for symptoms.

Cognitive and academic assessments: Identifying strengths and weaknesses.

These components form a comprehensive report, which is explained in detail during the final feedback session. ADHD assessments can be administered to individuals aged 6 and up .

All testing sessions will involve an initial interview to gain background information, testing sessions to administer the assessments and any relevant questionnaires, and a final feedback session. This follows the completion of report writing to help you understand the final results and recommendations provided.

It should be noted that for all of these assessments, there is no guarantee of a diagnosis. All diagnoses are dependent on observations and results of assessments and questionnaires. In some situations, a recommendation may be given for further testing. However, all tests will include recommendations for the client and a focus on the strengths and weaknesses identified in the individual regardless of whether a diagnosis is given or not.

If a combination of assessments is needed, please speak to our team to discuss your options.
