Assessment Process

Step 1- Initial Consultation/ Screening Interview (Face to Face or Online)

A comprehensive ADHD diagnosis includes symptom testing and interviews, as well as a detailed medical history and examinations for conditions that are typically diagnosed alongside ADD, such as ODD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum disorder.

A clinical interview will be used to gather the patient’s medical history before diagnosing ADHD. Neuropsychological testing is frequently used as a supplement to this as it provides further insight into strengths and weaknesses and aids in the identification of comorbid conditions.

Step 2- Assessment Sessions (Face to Face or Online)

Everyone’s assessment process will change depending on their individual demands. During the assessment phase, a psychologist will interact with you and administer standard diagnostic tools. This could include:

A formal developmental interview
Behavioural observation
Standardised ADHD rating Scales
Standardized executive functioning rating scales.
DSM screening Questionnaire
BASC-3 Behaviour Assessment System for children helps understand the behaviours and emotions of children and adolescents.
If needed, a cognitive assessment test and academic evaluation are conducted. The Core ADHD Test Battery Include:

Following the assessment, Dr. Huda will go over the results with you, explain your cognitive profile, Emotional and learning profiles and discuss whether a diagnosis is merited or whether the problems you’re having are better explained by something other than developmental ADHD. she will also go over all treatment options that may be appropriate with you.

Why

Why an ADHD diagnosis and treatment is worth it, no matter your age

Research has shown that, if left untreated, ADHD can destroy a person’s mental and physical health for decades before they even know they have it. Children, teens and adults who are aware that they have ADHD can realize that it is not their “fault” and get the confidence to try new coping mechanisms. As well, knowing that ADHD isn’t something that “happens” because of bad parenting and laziness, is a life-changing process.
