ADHD Assessment

ADHD Assessments Designed to Support Mental Health and Wellbeing

An ADHD assessment in Melbourne may provide useful insight into difficulties with attention, focus and self-regulation. Whether you are seeking an assessment for yourself or a young person, the approach of our psychologists near Bentleigh is compassionate, neuro-affirming and tailored to the individual.

ADHD may involve challenges with attention and organisation, hyperactivity and impulsivity, or a combination of these. The way it presents can vary considerably from person to person.

What Is Involved in an ADHD Assessment?

Our ADHD assessment process for Bentleigh residents is thorough, individualised and designed to support a clear understanding of your needs. The service includes:

Multiple Assessment Appointments

Multiple sessions give us time to explore symptoms and relevant information in greater depth, helping form a more well-rounded picture.

Detailed Questionnaires

Questionnaires are completed by the individual and, where appropriate, by parents and teachers to provide insight into behaviours and experiences across different settings.

Professional Report Writing

A written report brings together the assessment findings, helping clarify ADHD symptoms and outlining recommendations based on the individual’s needs.

Tools Utilised in an ADHD Assessment

Validated assessment tools are used throughout the ADHD evaluation process to support consistency, reliability and age-appropriate assessment for children and adults.

WISC-V / WPPSI-IV: Cognitive assessment tools can help provide insight into areas such as memory and processing speed for children aged 2+ through to adulthood.
BASC-3: This tool assesses emotional and behavioural patterns related to ADHD, drawing on feedback from the individual as well as parents and teachers where appropriate.
ACE / ACE+: ACE and ACE+ are semi-structured interviews used to explore ADHD symptoms in children and adults respectively.
Conners 3: A series of rating scales used to assess ADHD symptoms in children aged 6–18, with versions completed by parents, teachers and the young person.
