ADULT ADHD ASSESSMENT

The purpose of the intensive ADHD assessment service is to assess the possible existence of ADHD using standard clinical and cognitive tests. This service will be most helpful for individuals who are seeking clarification of a diagnosis of ADHD for the purpose of a medication consult with a treating psychiatrist, for treatment planning and for insurance or accommodation purposes.

The assessment involves the following:

  • Clinical intake interview with a Registered Psychologist and/or Registered Psychologist Under Supervised Practice, Ph.D. student or Psychology Resident (all working under the supervision of a registered psychologist). The Registered Psychologist completing and/or supervising the clinical interview makes the final determination with respect to assessing whether a diagnosis is appropriate or not

  • Completion and review of self-report symptom questionnaires

  • Review of school report cards (if available)

  • Intelligence- and memory-related cognitive tests that help to assess for the presence of attention-related deficits

  • 30-minute feedback session with a clinical psychologist and the assessor

  • Detailed report with results and follow-up treatment recommendations

  • Consultation with other professionals as needed to help with treatment needs and goals

The face-to-face portion of the assessment will take approximately 6.5 hours.
