ADHD ASSESSMENTS
Comprehensive ADHD Assessment
A comprehensive ADHD assessment provides an in-depth evaluation to determine whether ADHD is present and to better understand how symptoms affect daily life. The assessment includes a detailed clinical interview, a review of developmental, educational, occupational, and medical history, collateral records, standardized questionnaires, and consideration of other factors that may contribute to attention or executive functioning difficulties. This option is best suited for individuals with more complex presentations, such as co-occurring mental health concerns, a history of learning disabilities or other neurodevelopmental differences, previous diagnoses, or situations where multiple factors may be affecting attention and functioning. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of your strengths, challenges, and individualized recommendations.
Brief ADHD Assessment
A brief ADHD assessment is a focused evaluation designed for adults seeking a timely assessment of ADHD symptoms. It includes a clinical interview and targeted screening measures to determine whether symptoms are consistent with ADHD and whether a diagnosis can be made. While less extensive than a comprehensive assessment, it provides a streamlined option for individuals with a relatively straightforward clinical history.
Included with Your Assessment
Both assessment options include a personalized clinical summary letter outlining the assessment process, diagnostic outcome, and recommendations. This letter can be shared with your family physician, nurse practitioner, or other healthcare professionals to support ongoing care.
If more detailed documentation is required, a brief assessment report can be added for an additional fee.

Please note
These assessments are designed specifically to evaluate Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. They do not include comprehensive assessment for other neurodevelopmental conditions (such as autism spectrum disorder), psychoeducational assessment for learning disabilities, or cognitive (IQ) testing.
If, during the assessment process, it becomes apparent that additional evaluation may be beneficial, recommendations for appropriate follow-up assessment or referral options will be provided.
