ADHD is a term that refers to a neuro-developmental disorder that impacts one’s abilities related to attention, hyperactivity, concentration, impulsivity, self-regulation and/or organization. Some individuals may struggle with hyperactivity and/or impulsivity while others struggle with concentration and attention, while some may experience challenges within both areas.

The goal of this assessment is to determine if a client meets the criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A range of standardized assessment tools as well as questionnaires, file review, interviews and observations are completed to provide a comprehensive overview of one’s attentional functioning, including one’s inhibition, impulsivity, hyperactivity, working memory and executive functioning.
