Calgary ADHD Assessment Services
Our Calgary Psychologist Clinic is proud to offer Child ADHD assessment services. ADHD assessments are a subset of our Psychoeducational Assessment Services and are comprehensive evaluations aimed at diagnosing and understanding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children . These assessments involve a thorough process conducted by qualified psychologists to accurately identify and assess the symptoms and challenges associated with ADHD.
ADHD assessments typically include a combination of clinical interviews, behavior observations, and standardized rating scales filled out by parents, teachers, and the child. These methods help gather information about the child’s behavior patterns, attention span, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and their impact on various aspects of daily life, such as school performance and social interactions.
Our Calgary psychologists who specialize in ADHD assessments interpret the collected data to determine whether the child meets the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis according to established diagnostic guidelines. They also rule out other possible explanations for the observed behaviors. The assessment process is collaborative, involving input from parents, teachers, and the child to provide a comprehensive view of the child’s behavior across different settings.
Upon completion of the ADHD assessment, a detailed report is provided to parents, outlining the assessment process, results, and recommendations. These recommendations may include strategies for managing ADHD symptoms, school accommodations, therapy options, and in some cases, medication considerations. The goal is to create a tailored plan to support the child’s academic, social, and emotional development.
Child ADHD assessments play a crucial role in helping parents, educators, and healthcare professionals understand a child’s unique needs and provide appropriate interventions and support to improve their quality of life and overall functioning.
