ADHD Assessments
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental difference which affects a person's executive functioning. Our comprehensive assessments help understand your child's brain holistically.
Is your child often daydreaming, struggling to follow instructions or always on the go? Are they struggling at school or working so hard to keep up and not achieving to their potential? Are teachers concerned about their work ethic, behaviour or grades? Your child may benefit from a comprehensive assessment for ADHD.
Please note: A child needs to be at least 6 years old (or in kindergarten) before a diagnosis of ADHD will be considered.
