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.

Our Assessment Process

  • Initial Consultation – A thorough clinical interview is conducted to ascertain the client’s symptoms, signs and history, including onset, severity and functional impacts, as well as gather information about the person’s strengths and coping strategies.
  • Comprehensive Evaluation – The clinician will administer diagnostic tools and detailed assessments.
  • Detailed Report – Following the assessment, the results are carefully reviewed, and a comprehensive report is prepared.
  • Feedback Session – We  provide clear and constructive insights, along with recommendations to help the client identify appropriate next steps.

Who Can Receive an ADHD Assessment?

These assessments are available for individuals aged 5 and above.

What’s Involved in an ADHD Assessment?

The assessment process typically commences with a thorough interview, delving into comprehensive developmental, social, and educational history. Whenever possible, we involve parents/caregivers and, for children and young adolescents, their teachers. This multi-perspective approach enhances our understanding of the individual’s functioning across various settings.
