Evaluation for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
An evaluation for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) aims to provide a thorough understanding of the individual's strengths, challenges, and needs related to ADHD. The evaluation guides the development of tailored interventions to improve functioning and quality of life, and typically includes:
​
-
Clinical Interview: A detailed interview with the individual and their caregivers to gather developmental history, medical records, current symptoms, and observations of behavior across different settings (e.g., home, school, work).
-
Standardized Assessments: Administration of standardized tests to assess cognitive abilities, attention span, impulsivity and executive functioning skills and their impact on daily functioning
-
Feedback and Recommendations: Providing feedback to caregivers and the individual about assessment findings, diagnosis, and recommendations for interventions and support strategies.
-
Written Report: A detailed report summarizing assessment results, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations for treatment and support.
