ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child’s ability to focus, control impulses, and manage hyperactivity. An assessment helps to diagnose ADHD and understand the severity and specific needs of the child, allowing for appropriate treatment and support.
ADHD can be diagnosed in children as young as 4 years old, though symptoms are often noticeable by age 6. However, assessments can be done at any age if the child shows signs of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that impact their daily functioning.
Common signs include difficulty staying focused, inability to sit still, excessive talking or interrupting others, disorganization, impulsive behavior, and struggles with following instructions. If these behaviors persist across multiple settings (home, school) and impact your child’s life, an assessment may be helpful.
An ADHD assessment typically includes questionnaires for parents and teachers, interviews with the child, and observation of the child’s behavior. A healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist, may also use standardized tests to evaluate attention, hyperactivity, and impulse control.
ADHD assessments can be conducted by pediatricians, child psychologists, child psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals trained in child behavioral disorders. In schools, educational psychologists may also play a role in the evaluation.
The length of the assessment can vary, but typically it involves multiple appointments over several weeks. The process may include collecting information from parents, teachers, and other caregivers, as well as behavioral observations and tests.
Yes, there are three types of ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type (both inattention and hyperactivity). The assessment will help determine which type your child has based on their specific symptoms.
Medication is not always necessary for every child diagnosed with ADHD. Treatment options vary and may include behavioural therapy, counselling, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, medication. The best approach depends on the child's specific needs.
ADHD can sometimes be misdiagnosed, especially if other conditions, such as anxiety, learning disabilities, or sleep disorders, are present. A thorough assessment, involving multiple sources of information, increases accuracy and helps to rule out other conditions.
After diagnosis, a treatment plan will be developed to address your child's specific symptoms and challenges. This may involve working with schools to implement accommodations, starting therapy, and in some cases, discussing medication options. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments may be necessary as the child grows and their needs change.
