What Is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a clinical evaluation that determines whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect:
- Focus and concentration
- Memory and organization
- Emotional regulation
- Impulse control
- Time management and planning
The assessment has three parts:
- Detailed intake questionnaires
- Psychological screening tools
- A one-on-one consultation with a Nurse Practitioner
We look at how your symptoms show up at school, work, home, and in relationships.
Benefits of ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis
