In today’s episode, I’m focusing on a topic that impacts millions of children, teens, and adults: ADHD assessments. ADHD is a chronic condition that often persists throughout life, so understanding the assessment process is crucial for setting families up for long-term success. I’ll be diving into various aspects of this process, exploring the multiple steps involved to ensure that the diagnosis is thorough and accurate. From clinical interviews to lifestyle assessments, there are several key factors that play a role in understanding ADHD and its impact on a person’s daily life.

Listen to learn the steps in an ADHD assessment, why each step is important, and how this evidence-based approach ensures that children and families receive the support they need.

Show Notes:

[1:36] - ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood. It is not something children grow out of.

[2:29] - Assessments include multiple steps, beginning with a thorough clinical interview.

[3:58] - A lifestyle assessment is important as well and includes looking into sleep habits, diet, and screen use.

[5:59] - It is also a part of an ADHD assessment to review a child’s functioning across multiple settings.

[7:35] - ADHD is never diagnosed based on test scores alone.

[8:24] - You do not need a neuropsychological assessment to diagnose ADHD.

[9:28] - No ADHD assessment is complete without a feedback session.

[11:33] - This evidence-based approach ensures that children and families receive an accurate diagnosis and the right support.
