When you're a Elderslie parent noticing that your child can't seem to sit still, keep up with classwork, or manage their emotions the way other children do, it's natural to wonder what's going on. You might have been told they'll grow out of it, but something tells you there's more to the picture.

Common questions from Elderslie parents about children's ADHD assessments.
Children can typically be assessed from around age five or six, once they've had enough time in a structured learning environment for patterns to become clear. If you're noticing concerns earlier, it's still worth having a conversation with your GP or reaching out to us for guidance.
The assessment usually involves a parent interview, classroom questionnaires sent to your child's teacher, and direct observation or interaction with your child. We gather information from multiple sources to build an accurate, well-rounded picture of how your child is functioning across different settings.
We go out of our way to make the process comfortable and even enjoyable for children. Our psychologists are experienced in working with young people and use age-appropriate activities. Most kids tell us they actually liked coming in.
Most ADHD assessments involve two to three sessions plus a feedback appointment, spread over a few weeks. This allows time to collect teacher questionnaires and collateral information. You can typically expect your child's report within three to four weeks of the first session.
Absolutely. Our reports are written to be practical and actionable. They include specific recommendations that schools can use to put accommodations and support strategies in place for your child.
