ADHD assessment for children and teenagers

What you can bring to the consultation

Reasons for seeking an assessment may include difficulty finishing tasks, waiting for a turn, organising schoolwork or managing activity. Similar behaviours can have different explanations. The child’s age, needs and the situations in which difficulties arise all matter.

The most important changes happen when we try to understand what a symptom is telling us, rather than simply suppressing it.

• ADHD and the assessment process

Information from the child and caregivers

The process may include a parent interview, discussion with the child and information from school. Methods are chosen for the child’s age and the assessment question. A questionnaire or attention test contributes to a broader evaluation; its score alone does not determine a diagnosis.

Before booking

Give the child’s age and check whether parents should attend the first appointment without the child. Previous reports and examples of both difficulties and strengths can be useful. Ask who should attend later sessions and how findings and recommendations will be discussed.

Language of the discussion and assessment tools

The consultation languages in the profile refer to conversations with the specialist. Before booking, confirm the language available for each test, interview and written report; not every instrument has an appropriate version in every language.
