ADHD Assessment

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodiversity and may impact how a person thinks, feels, interacts with other and experiences their environment. Individuals with the inattentive component have difficulty with maintaining concentration, remaining organised, and may be easily distracted. Individuals with the hyperactive/impulsive component may have trouble sitting still, waiting their turn, and often need to fidget or talk. 

A comprehensive ADHD assessment explores whether an individual meets the criteria for a diagnosis and whether they exhibit a predominantly inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined presentation. 

This assessment includes:  

- At least 3 assessment consultations 

- Questionnaires that can be completed by the patient, their parents and teachers if applicable

- Report writing
