ADHD Assessment

Supporting Wellbeing With Comprehensive ADHD Assessments

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments can help build a clearer understanding of attention, focus and self-regulation concerns. Our psychologists near Prahran work with adults, children and teenagers using a thoughtful, neuro-affirming and supportive assessment process.

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 Included in an ADHD Assessment?

Our ADHD assessments for Prahran residents follow a structured and personalised process to help build a detailed picture of your experiences and support appropriate recommendations. This 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

We use questionnaires completed by the individual and, when relevant, by parents and teachers to better understand how behaviours and experiences may vary across different environments.

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: These assessments explore a range of cognitive abilities, including memory and processing speed, in children aged 2+ and adults.
BASC-3: This assessment explores emotional and behavioural aspects of ADHD using input from the individual and, where relevant, parents and teachers.
ACE / ACE+: ACE and ACE+ are semi-structured interviews used to explore ADHD symptoms in children and adults respectively.
Conners 3: These rating scales evaluate ADHD-related symptoms in children and adolescents aged 6–18, drawing on input from parents, teachers and self-report measures.
