At Core Healing Psychology, we specialize in comprehensive ADHD assessments for both children and adults. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. Understanding ADHD is crucial for managing its impact on daily life, relationships, and learning.
Our Assessment Approach:
To ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation, we collect information from various sources, including parents, teachers, and other key informants who can provide insight into the individual’s behaviors across different settings. Our assessment process includes:
Clinical Interviews
Conducted with the individual and, for children, their parents, to gather detailed developmental, educational, and behavioral histories.
Robust Diagnostic Tools and Questionnaires
Utilized to systematically evaluate the presence of ADHD symptoms and their severity.
Observations
In-person or video observations in various environments, such as at school or during therapy sessions, to directly assess behaviors and interactions.
School Feedback
Collaboration with educational staff to obtain observations and reports on the individual’s academic performance and behavior in the school setting.
Cognitive Assessment
To identify or rule out any underlying conditions that might mimic or coexist with ADHD, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s cognitive profile.
The Importance of an ADHD Diagnosis:
Receiving an accurate diagnosis of ADHD can be life-changing. It opens the door to targeted interventions, accommodations in educational settings, and personalized strategies to enhance daily functioning and well-being. Understanding one’s condition leads to self-awareness, empowerment, and the implementation of effective coping mechanisms.
A diagnosis can also alleviate feelings of frustration or confusion for individuals and their families, providing a clearer path forward through evidence-based treatments and support systems.
