Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Understand your brain. Unlock your potential.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can impact many areas of life — from focus and organization to emotional regulation, relationships, and everyday functioning. Whether you are seeking answers for your child, teen, or yourself, a comprehensive ADHD assessment can help clarify what is going on and guide the next steps forward.
ADHD presents differently across individuals and throughout the lifespan. Some people may struggle with attention, distractibility, or procrastination. Others may experience restlessness, impulsivity, or emotional intensity. Many develop strong compensatory strategies that can mask underlying challenges — particularly those with high cognitive abilities, or individuals from groups historically underdiagnosed, such as women, girls, and gender-diverse people.
An ADHD assessment provides not only diagnostic clarity, but also insight into how your brain works, what your unique strengths are, and how to best support attention, motivation, and executive functioning in everyday life.
Why Seek an ADHD Assessment?
You or your child may benefit from an ADHD assessment if you notice:
Persistent difficulty with focus, attention, or staying organized
Trouble starting or completing tasks (especially boring or repetitive ones)
Forgetfulness, distractibility, or frequent misplacing of items
Impulsivity or acting without thinking
Emotional reactivity, frustration, or difficulty regulating mood
Chronic lateness, poor time management, or procrastination
Feeling overwhelmed, disorganized, or underperforming despite potential
A family history of ADHD
A recommendation from a teacher, physician, or mental health professional
What Does the Assessment Involve?
We tailor each ADHD assessment to the individual’s age, presentation, and goals. The process may include:
Clinical interviews with the individual (and caregivers, when applicable)
Behavioural and executive functioning questionnaires completed by parents, teachers, partners, or the individual
Cognitive and attention testing (e.g., working memory, processing speed, sustained attention)
Review of academic, developmental, or occupational history
Screening for other overlapping concerns, such as anxiety, learning differences, or autism
Each assessment includes:
A comprehensive written report
A 1-hour feedback session to discuss findings, answer questions, and explore options
Tailored recommendations for home, school, work, and daily life — including strategies, accommodations, and, if appropriate, support for exploring medication or therapy options
ADHD in Different Ages
Children & Teens:
An assessment can help determine if your child’s challenges with focus, behaviour, or emotional regulation are related to ADHD. Results can guide support in the classroom, development of Individualized Program Plans (IPPs), and help strengthen confidence and coping skills.
Adults:
Many adults with ADHD go undiagnosed until later in life — often after years of frustration, burnout, or feeling “different.” An adult assessment can provide insight, validation, and new tools for managing daily life, work, relationships, and personal well-being.
