ADHD Assessment
Clear, comprehensive ADHD assessment for all ages.
An ADHD assessment helps make sense of difficulties with attention, focus, organisation and impulsivity, and opens the door to the right support and accommodations.
An assessment can help with
- Understanding attention, focus and impulsivity
- School and workplace accommodations
- Guidance on next steps and support
- A written report for schools or employers
What the assessment involves
A thorough ADHD assessment includes a detailed history, standardised rating scales, and information from more than one setting (for example home and school) where possible. You receive a written report with findings and recommendations.
