Clinical Interviews:
We sit down with you (and for children, with parents and possibly teachers) to discuss symptoms and history. We’ll ask about attention span, distractibility, impulsivity, restlessness, and how these have shown up over time , at home, school, work, or in relationships. We also explore early childhood behavior, since ADHD often starts young. This conversation covers not just the problems, but also times you hyperfocus or environments where you do well, giving a balanced view.

Standardized Behaviour Questionnaires:
You and perhaps others (a spouse, parent, or teacher) will fill out rating scales that compare your symptoms to typical attention and activity levels. Common tools we use include the Conners Rating Scales or ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) for adults. These questionnaires quantify things like how often you forget appointments, struggle to finish tasks, fidget, or act impulsively. They provide objective data to back up the interview.

Cognitive Testing:
ADHD can sometimes affect certain cognitive functions (like working memory, processing speed, executive functioning). Our assessment may include cognitive tasks or computerized tests (for example, the TOVA or CPT , Continuous Performance Test) that measure attention and impulse control in a structured way. These tests help rule out other issues and see the specific attention profile , for instance, is it sustained attention that’s hard, or response inhibition (impulse control), etc.

Rule Out Other Causes:
A crucial part of ADHD assessment is ensuring symptoms aren’t better explained by something else. We’ll screen for anxiety, depression, trauma, or learning disorders, as these can mimic or accompany ADHD. If you’re an adult, we might ask about sleep (untreated sleep apnea or chronic lack of sleep can cause focus problems) and any substance use. By ruling out (or identifying) other factors, we ensure the diagnosis , whether ADHD or something different , is accurate.
