Supporting Wellbeing With Comprehensive ADHD Assessments

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 Caulfield is compassionate, neuro-affirming and tailored to the individual.

For some people, ADHD mainly affects attention, organisation and concentration. For others, restlessness, energy and impulsive behaviour may be more noticeable. Many people experience features of both patterns.

What Is Included in an ADHD Assessment?

We take a comprehensive and tailored approach to ADHD assessment for Caulfield residents, with each stage designed to gather relevant information and guide clear recommendations. The process includes:

Multiple Assessment Appointments

A series of appointments helps us build a detailed understanding of the individual’s presentation, needs and experiences.

Detailed Questionnaires

Questionnaires may be completed by the individual, parents and teachers, depending on the circumstances, to gather information about behaviours and experiences in different settings.

Professional Report Writing

The assessment findings are presented in a detailed report, providing an overview of ADHD-related symptoms and practical recommendations for support.

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: These cognitive assessment tools evaluate areas such as memory, processing speed and other cognitive abilities in children aged 2+ and adults.
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: Designed for children aged 6–18, these rating scales gather information about ADHD symptoms from parents, teachers and the individual.
