ADHD Assessments
A structured assessment pathway designed to clarify ADHD presentation and functional impact across settings. Assessments are referral-aligned and consider developmental history, current functioning, and relevant differentials, with clear reporting to support practical decisions in school, workplace, or clinical contexts.
Structured evaluation of
attention and executive functioning
ADHD assessments evaluate attention regulation, impulsivity, activity level, and
executive functioning skills such as planning, organisation, working memory, and
self-monitoring. The goal is to clarify whether an ADHD profile is present and
describe how symptoms impact functioning across home, school, and work contexts. Interpretation carefully considers development, context, and differentials that may mimic ADHD symptoms.
- Referral-aligned scope defined by school, workplace, or clinical purpose.
- Developmental history considered alongside current functioning.
- Executive functioning assessment where relevant to referral questions.
- Clear reporting with practical recommendations and stated limitations.
