A short guide you can read before you decide anything.
Download today↓Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. It presents differently in children and adults, and even varies from person to person.
If these challenges are interfering with your daily life or your child’s success at school, an evaluation can be a powerful first step.
We know that navigating assessments can feel overwhelming, especially when clinical terms are involved. That’s why our two-session approach is designed to be both efficient and comprehensive, ensuring you — or your child — receive thoughtful evaluation without unnecessary complexity.
Estimated time: 120–180 minutes
We start with a diagnostic clinical interview to learn about developmental, emotional, cognitive, medical, and relational history. This helps us get a holistic picture of what’s going on.
Right after the interview, we administer the TOVA (Test of Variables of Attention), a computerized tool that gauges sustained attention and response control.
For children and adolescents: while the child completes the TOVA, parents fill out the SDQ (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) and the CATS (Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen).
Completed before Session Two
Between sessions, we send select assessments via email for clients to complete at home. The assessments vary depending on client age.
Brown EF/A Scales (executive function) — 10–15 minutes
MMPI-3 (personality assessment) — 25–50 minutes
Conners 4 (ADHD-related behaviours) — full 12–15 minutes, short 5–7 minutes, ADHD Index 1–1.5 minutes
If broader concerns need to be explored, such as learning or developmental issues, additional assessments may be offered: WIAT-4 (academic achievement), WISC-V (cognitive, children), WAIS-IV (cognitive, adults). These are provided separately when needed.
Estimated time: 60–120 minutes
In the second session, we meet to go over the results. Clients receive:
