Common questions from Gledswood Hills parents about children's ADHD assessments.
All children can be energetic and distracted at times. The difference with ADHD is that these behaviours are persistent, present across multiple settings like home and school, and significantly impact your child's ability to function. An assessment helps determine whether what you're seeing goes beyond typical childhood behaviour.
The assessment will clarify whether your child meets the criteria for ADHD, identify their specific strengths and challenges, and rule out other possible explanations for what you've been noticing. You'll receive a detailed report with clear, practical recommendations.
Yes. ADHD often occurs alongside other conditions like anxiety, learning difficulties, or autism. Our assessments are designed to pick up on these co-occurring presentations so nothing gets missed and your child gets the full picture of support they need.
Keep it simple and positive. Let them know they're going to meet someone who wants to learn about how their brain works and what helps them do their best. Our psychologists are skilled at putting children at ease from the first moment.
We walk you through the findings in a feedback session, answer all your questions, and help you understand the next steps. If a referral to a paediatrician or other specialist would be helpful, we can guide you through that process.
