ADHD Assessment

Struggle with attention, concentration, and distractibility

Have difficulty with organization, planning, procrastination, or task completion

Often feel overwhelmed, scattered, or forgetful

Find yourself unable to focus or get started on tasks even if they are important (but you might be able to hyperfocus for extended periods of time on things that interest you).

Struggle with hyperactivity (e.g., difficulty sitting still or remaining seated, interrupting people or talking too much)

Have received feedback about attention or focus challenges at work or school, or find yourself underachieving

Wonder whether your symptoms reflect ADHD or another concern (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma)

Clinical Interview & Background History

Your psychologist will gather information about symptoms, functioning, mental health history, medical factors, developmental history, and strengths. They will explore your academic history and how your symptoms manifested in childhood as well as adulthood.

Standardized ADHD Measures

You will complete evidence-based questionnaires that assess attention, impulsivity, executive functioning, and related behaviours.

Screening for Other Mental Health Conditions

Because anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep issues, learning differences, and stress can mimic ADHD, the assessment explores whether ADHD is the best explanation, or whether something else fits better.

Collateral

Your psychologist may ask to speak to a family member or have them complete an assessment battery on your behalf. They may also ask to see report cards from childhood if available.

Diagnostic Report & Feedback Session

You will receive a written report summarizing the assessment results, diagnoses (if applicable), and treatment recommendations. Your psychologist will review the findings with you, answer questions, and outline next steps. The report can be sent to your family doctor or another provider.
