When an ADHD Assessment May Be Considered
An ADHD assessment may be considered when a child or young person experiences persistent difficulties with attention, organisation, activity levels or impulse control. Parents, caregivers or teachers may notice:
Individual signs do not confirm ADHD. The assessment considers the child's development, circumstances and functioning across different environments.
What the Assessment Explores
How the child maintains focus, responds to instructions and manages distractions.
How the child's energy and movement show up across different settings and activities.
How the child pauses, waits and manages their responses in the moment.
How the child plans, organises and follows through with everyday tasks.
How the child manages routines, relationships and responsibilities day to day.
The Assessment Process
The clinician meets with the family to discuss the current concerns, developmental history and any previous assessments or support.
With appropriate consent, information may be gathered from parents, caregivers, teachers and other relevant professionals.
The process may include clinical interviews, observations and standardised ADHD rating scales.
The available information is reviewed to consider whether the difficulties meet the criteria for ADHD or may be better explained by another need or circumstance.
The findings are discussed with the child and family, alongside appropriate recommendations and next steps.
The exact process may vary according to the child's age, presentation and individual needs.

The Team
An assessment is rarely one conversation. The professionals involved will depend entirely on your child's individual presentation. Choose a discipline to see its role.
Input from various disciplines contributes to a complete understanding of your child, specifically identifying:
Following the Assessment
Following the assessment, your family will receive a clear explanation of the findings. Where appropriate, this includes a comprehensive written report.
Written for families first, professionals second.
Our Philosophy
The team will explain exactly what is required and how to prepare your child before the assessment begins.
We may ask for developmental, medical, and educational information before the appointment.
This could include previous reports, school feedback, or details of existing support.
You may be asked to fill out specific questionnaires to help us understand your child's daily routines and challenges.
We will guide you on how to talk to your child about the day so they feel entirely comfortable. There is nothing to rehearse.
