ADHD Assessment Process

Our Adult ADHD assessment occurs over four sessions under the guidance of a senior psychologist or clinical psychologist.

Session 1: Clinical Interview


This is a detailed history taking session to understand your background, educational history, psychological history and other important information. The objective is to identify potential signs of ADHD or related conditions.

Session 2: Psychological Assessments


This includes a comprehensive battery of psychological screeners and valid diagnostic tools to understand how your brain works. We also administer an informant report (potential input from a family member or a person who knows you well) to gather additional data.

Session 3: Evaluation and Feedback

In this session, your psychologist will go through the results of your assessment. This session can be pivotal to understanding your brain and whether ADHD is present and which type of ADHD presentation you may have.

Session 4: Report and Recommendations


In this session, your psychologist will go through your entire report as well as make recommendations moving forward. This may include strategies specific for your brain's profile to help manage ADHD symptoms as well as psychological interventions. They will also support you with the next steps to see a psychiatrist if you wish to seek medication support.
