ADHD Diagnostic Assessment
Understanding ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, activity levels, impulse control, organisation, and executive functioning.
ADHD can present differently in children, adolescents, and adults. Our assessments aim to understand how ADHD-related difficulties may have developed and how they affect everyday life.
What Does an ADHD Assessment Explore?
- Attention and concentration
- Hyperactivity and restlessness
- Impulsivity
- Executive functioning and organisation
- Emotional regulation
- Educational and occupational functioning
- Relationships and daily life
- Developmental history and childhood experiences
- Relevant medical and mental health history
Who Can Have an ADHD Assessment?
We provide assessment services for children, adolescents, and adults, subject to the clinic’s assessment criteria and available services.
What Happens During an Assessment?
- Initial enquiry and suitability screening.
- Detailed clinical and developmental history.
- Assessment of ADHD-related symptoms and functional impact.
- Review of relevant information and supporting evidence.
- Clinical formulation and diagnostic decision, where appropriate.
- Feedback and recommendations.
After Your Assessment
Where a diagnosis is made, we provide feedback and recommendations tailored to the individual’s needs.
Please note: An assessment does not automatically result in a diagnosis. A diagnosis is made only when the relevant clinical criteria are met.
