ADHD Assessment

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

ADHD can present in different ways. Some people experience more difficulty with focus, organisation and staying on task, while others may show more restlessness, impulsivity and high activity levels. Many experience a combination of both.

What Is Involved in an ADHD Assessment?

We take a comprehensive and tailored approach to ADHD assessment for Malvern 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

The individual completes questionnaires, with input from parents and teachers where relevant, to help build a broader understanding of behaviours across home, school and other environments.

Professional Report Writing

Following the assessment, a comprehensive report summarises the findings and provides clear recommendations for ongoing support.

Tools Utilised in an ADHD Assessment

We use validated diagnostic tools as part of our ADHD assessments to support a careful and reliable evaluation for both 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+: A semi-structured interview designed to support ADHD assessment, using ACE for children and ACE+ for adults.
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.

Common Questions About ADHD Assessments

What are the signs of ADHD in adults?

Adults with ADHD may experience challenges with focus, organisation, managing time and impulsivity. An assessment can help clarify whether these experiences are consistent with ADHD.

How do clinicians assess adults for ADHD?

Comprehensive adult ADHD assessments may include interviews, questionnaires and assessment of behavioural and cognitive patterns. These findings are considered alongside the person’s day-to-day functioning when determining whether ADHD diagnostic criteria are met.

How may cognitive behavioural therapy support adults with ADHD?

For some adults with ADHD, cognitive behavioural therapy may help address challenges with organisation, attention and everyday coping. It can be used alongside strategies developed following an ADHD assessment.

Who may consider an adult ADHD assessment?

People experiencing ongoing attention, impulsivity or executive functioning difficulties may benefit from an adult ADHD assessment. The process can help determine whether these experiences are consistent with ADHD and support recommendations for therapy or other strategies.
