Professional ADHD Test for Children

ADHD affects a child’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels. Our comprehensive ADHD assessment helps us address these unique characteristics and develop a support plan for home, school, and the community.

We assess all manifestations of ADHD:

  • Inattentive Type – difficulty concentrating, organizing, and completing tasks
  • Hyperactive-Impulsive Type – difficulty with perseverance and impulse control
  • Mixed Type – symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity
  • Executive Functioning Impairments – problems with planning, organization, and working memory

Our ADHD assessment for children includes:

  • Clinical Interviews – detailed discussions with parents and child
  • Behavioral Rating Scales – standardized questionnaires for parents and teachers
  • Cognitive Testing – assessment of attention, memory, and executive functions
  • Academic Assessment – analysis of school performance and learning patterns
  • Social-Emotional Assessment – understanding emotional regulation and social skills

Common Indicators for Assessing ADHD

Attention problems in children may manifest as difficulty maintaining concentration and frequent daydreaming. Hyperactivity manifests itself as constant fidgeting and an inability to sit still. Impulsivity sometimes includes unclear answers in class and difficulty waiting for one’s turn. Parents often notice problems with organization and disorder in children with ADHD. This can sometimes lead to problems with academic performance in school and difficulty establishing and maintaining friendships. Parents and teachers frequently observe frustration or emotional outbursts in these children.
