ADHD Assessments

---

The assessment process begins with a 50 minute pre-screening session, where our psychologist gathers important background information. You will also be asked to complete some initial questionnaires to provide further insight into your experiences. This session helps determine whether an ADHD assessment is the most suitable next step for you. It also allows us to understand any co-existing concerns and tailor the assessment process to your individual needs.

If an ADHD assessment is recommended following the pre-screening, the next step is a comprehensive 2-hour clinical interview with one of our psychologists. This session explores your developmental history, ADHD-related symptoms, and how these challenges impact your daily life, work, and relationships. Understanding your personal experiences in depth is key to ensuring an accurate assessment.

To gain a well-rounded understanding of your symptoms, we use validated ADHD-specific questionnaires and assessment tools. These may be completed by you and, where appropriate, by family members or others who can provide insight into how your symptoms present in different environments. This stage helps identify behavioural patterns and ensures a thorough evaluation of ADHD-related traits.

After gathering all assessment data, your psychologist will analyse the findings and compile a comprehensive report. This document outlines key observations, assessment results, and clinical impressions. If ADHD traits are identified, the report will include personalised recommendations for symptom management, workplace accommodations, and next steps for treatment or support.

In your final 50 minute session, your psychologist will review the assessment results with you, explain key findings, and answer any questions you may have. This session ensures you fully understand the outcome of your assessment and provides guidance on practical strategies and next steps based on your individual needs.
