Should I get my child tested for ADHD?

Children with ADHD often experience mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. A pediatric ADHD evaluation is essential to determine whether these symptoms are due to ADHD or other factors. Professional assessment ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention, ultimately improving the child's overall mental health.

What is the most common test for pediatric ADHD assessment?

The Continuous Performance Test (CPT) is one of the most widely used tests for pediatric ADHD assessment. The CPT evaluates a child's ability to identify important details from information and maintain focus on specific tasks, providing insights into their attention and concentration capabilities.

How is ADHD evaluated and diagnosed in children?

There is no single test for ADHD. One of our specialists will evaluate if a child has ADHD by observing their behavior, reviewing their medical history, and assessing their overall functioning. If a child exhibits at least six ADHD symptoms, they may be diagnosed with ADHD.

Our Pediatric ADHD Assessment Process

Initial consultation: During the first meeting we gather preliminary information about your child's behavior, medical history, and any concerns you have. It sets the foundation for a thorough assessment.

School/College collaboration: We work closely with your child's educational institution to collect observations and reports from teachers and staff who interact with your child regularly. This helps us understand how ADHD symptoms manifest in different settings.

Clinical interviews: We conduct comprehensive clinical interviews with your child to gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms. This allows us to accurately assess the presence and severity of ADHD.

Guardian informed assessments: We involve guardians in the assessment process through structured questionnaires and discussions, ensuring that all relevant information is considered in the diagnosis.

Diagnosis discussion: After completing the assessments, we meet with you to discuss the findings, explain the diagnosis, and answer any questions you may have. This discussion ensures you fully understand your child's condition.
