ADHD Assessment

Supporting Mental Health Through 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 St Kilda work with adults, children and teenagers using a thoughtful, neuro-affirming and supportive assessment process.

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 St Kilda residents, with each stage designed to gather relevant information and guide clear recommendations. The process 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 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

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

Our ADHD assessments incorporate validated diagnostic measures to help provide a structured and evidence-informed evaluation across different age groups.

WISC-V / WPPSI-IV: These tools assess cognitive abilities across children and adults, including areas such as memory, processing speed and related thinking skills.
BASC-3: Behavioural assessment information is collected from the individual, parents and teachers to provide insight into emotional and behavioural experiences across settings.
ACE / ACE+: A semi-structured interview designed to support ADHD assessment, using ACE for children and ACE+ for adults.
Conners 3: Designed for children aged 6–18, these rating scales gather information about ADHD symptoms from parents, teachers and the individual.
