ADHD Assessments

ADHD assessment plays an important role in the diagnosis of ADHD/ADD. This is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a clinical psychologist to determine if a person meets criteria for ADHD. This assessment is performed by a psychologist with extensive experience in diagnosing ADHD. The purpose of assessment is to collect information about a person’s behaviour, development, and function to determine whether they meet criteria for ADHD. At the end of the evaluation process, you will receive a comprehensive report.

Outcomes of an ADHD Assessment
Information collected during the evaluation is analysed by a psychologist and a diagnosis is made based on established diagnostic criteria. An ADHD assessment is necessary to provide a formal diagnosis that enables individuals and their families to understand and access appropriate interventions, support services and educational resources tailored to their specific needs. It also serves as the basis for developing treatment plans and receiving support in educational and community settings.
