Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact an individual’s occupational, learning, social, and/or emotional functioning. It is connected with a dysfunction in a person’s Executive Functioning (all of the goal and task oriented skills) . With some individuals, it can also negatively impact emotional reactions with some, referred to as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.

Untreated ADHD can also put someone at greater risk for developing mood and anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, job instability, challenges in relationships, substance abuse, and riskier behaviour. A diagnosis and proper supports are pivotal to improving overall wellbeing and standard of living. Our assessments can provide you with answers and supports to help you thrive, and also help to differentiate between other disorders which have overlapping behavioural symptoms.

ADHD assessments do not include formal testing of intellectual or academic abilities. If you would like to be tested for ADHD symptoms, but don’t need a full Psycho-educational assessment, this may be the best option for you.

What is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder which impacts a person’s ability to regulate their attention, impulses, and their energy level relative to their environment (in the workplace compared to a party). This is now an umbrella term that encompasses 3 different types of ADHD: primarily hyperactive & impulse presentation, a primarily inattentive presentation (previously called ADD), and a combination of both presentations. ADHD presents on a spectrum, with different features being prominent for different individuals and can presently differently by gender. Do you experience any of the following symptoms?:

• Trouble with time management

• Difficulty concentrating

• Challenges in planning and organizing tasks & activities

• Feelings of restlessness

• Feelings of impulsivity

• Being easily distracted

• Trouble with procrastination or task completion at home or work

  (additional symptoms will be present)

If so, exploration in ADHD may be beneficial. ADHD assessments do not include formal testing of intellectual or academic abilities. If you would like to be tested for ADHD symptoms, but don’t need a full Psycho-educational assessment, this may be the best option for you.
