FAQs

These are some of the questions people often ask when considering an ADHD assessment.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It’s a condition that affects focus, organisation, and impulse control. With the right support and strategies, individuals with ADHD can thrive.

If you often feel restless, have trouble paying attention, or act impulsively, it might be worth exploring an ADHD assessment. Everyone is unique, so it’s important to understand your specific needs and behaviours.

An ADHD assessment typically includes questionnaires, interviews, and an observation. Professionals will gather information across various settings to get a comprehensive understanding of any challenges.

It’s helpful to gather any relevant information about your behaviour and experiences. You might also want to write down any questions or concerns you have to discuss during the assessment.

After an assessment, we will provide you with recommendations. This might include behavioural strategies, educational or workplace support. The goal is to help you succeed and feel confident.
