ADHD (ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER) AND BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENTS
ADHD is a brain disorder identified by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. These
patterns interfere with functioning or development at school, work, or relationships. Diagnosing ADHD is not a striaght line, the mental health affects and symptoms of ADHD are often not enough, that's why we perform an assessment.
Understanding your child's needs can make all the difference for their future.
Symptoms for child ADHD and adult ADHD include struggles with focus and concentration, hyperactivity, disorganization and emotional regulation at school and home. These individuals can also struggle with emotional dysregulation or a mood disorder and these can manifest in adult ADHD, or children like a learning disability. These can also lead to a physical health condition when not managed appropriately.
Individuals may seek out ADHD assessments for several
reasons, including:
- Being referred for assessments by teachers or guidance counsellors who have concerns about a student's performance
- Reading about the symptoms of ADHD and recognizing them in your child or yourself. Adults with ADHD may experience similar symptoms at work and home
ADHD assessment is a multi-step process involving clinical examination, interview, behavioural and social observations, and completion of rating scales.
A psychological assessment of ADHD typically includes a full evaluation of information gathered from several sources, including parents/caregivers, family members, teachers, and partners.
A child and adult ADHD assessment can help you secure a diagnosis, access medications (if needed), as well as get a range of recommendations to support your success or that of your partner or child.

ADHD Assessment FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How is ADHD diagnosed?
Diagnosing ADHD involves a comprehensive evaluation based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) criteria. A healthcare provider assesses symptoms, medical history, and possible co-existing mental disorders or mood disorders. Since ADHD symptoms can overlap with other mental health conditions, it is important to rule out any physical health conditions that may impact attention and behavior. An ADHD test may also be used as part of the assessment to measure attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
What are the diagnostic criteria for ADHD?
The diagnostic criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder include persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily life. A healthcare provider will evaluate these symptoms using guidelines outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5). Since ADHD can present differently in individuals, the assessment also considers broader aspects of mental health and potential co-occurring mental disorders. A formal ADHD diagnosis requires that symptoms appear before age 12 and significantly impact social, academic, or occupational functioning.
