ADHD

ADHD Diagnostic Assessment usually involves cognitive and achievement assessment in addition to a clinical interview and the administration of a screening questionnaires (for example, the Conners 3rd Edition (Conners-3) questionnaire ) to rule out differential diagnoses and capture information about behaviour in a range of settings (generally home and school).

The Conners 3 is a thorough assessment of ADHD and its most common comorbid challenges and disorders. The assessment is multi-informant that utilises observational ratings from parents or caregivers, teachers, and young people being assessed (for 8 year olds and over). For children under the age of 8, only the parent and teacher forms are utilised. A feedback session is scheduled to discuss the outcome of the assessment, and the support your child may require in the home and/or school environments.
