ADHD Assessment
Possible signs and symptoms of ADHD
Have you observed any potential signs or symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
Such indicators may include misplacing items, making careless mistakes, procrastination or impulsivity.
Individuals with ADHD often face challenges related to financial management, family conflicts, and chronic emotional reactivity, including rejection sensitivity dysphoria. If you have experienced difficulties since primary school—such as lapses in attention, suboptimal performance, low self-esteem, and challenges with concentration—these may all serve as indicators of a possible ADHD diagnosis.
If you have concerns that you or a loved one may be experiencing symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), we’re here to help.
Who Can Receive an ADHD Assessment?
These assessments are available for individuals aged 5 and above.
Our Assessment Process
Our assessment process begins with a comprehensive initial consultation, where a thorough clinical interview is conducted to explore the client’s symptoms, history, and functional impacts. This includes gathering information on strengths and coping strategies. Whenever possible, we also involve parents, caregivers, and teachers to gain a well-rounded understanding of the individual’s functioning across various settings.
Following this, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted using diagnostic tools and detailed assessments to gain deeper insights into the client’s needs.
After careful review, we compile a detailed report summarizing the assessment findings.
Finally, in a feedback session, we provide clear and constructive insights, along with tailored recommendations to support the client in identifying appropriate next steps
