Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Assessment
ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition—many adults continue to experience difficulties with attention, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. While some individuals are diagnosed in childhood, others may not recognize the signs until later in life, often after struggling with work demands, relationships, or daily responsibilities.
An adult ADHD assessment helps identify patterns of executive functioning challenges and their impact on life. The process includes a clinical interview, self-report scales, observer questionnaires from trusted individuals, and an evaluation of personal and work history. Understanding ADHD in adulthood can provide clarity, validation, and a roadmap for effective strategies, workplace accommodations, and treatment options.
If you’ve ever wondered why staying focused, managing time, or following through on tasks feels harder than it should, an assessment could be the first step toward meaningful change.
Step-by-Step Process for an Adult ADHD Assessment
Our ADHD assessment process for adults is designed to provide clarity on attention, executive functioning, and how ADHD may be impacting daily life.
Step 1: Clinical Intake Interview
The process begins with a one-hour interview where we explore your developmental history, current challenges, and areas of strength. This discussion covers attention, impulsivity, organization, emotional regulation, work performance, relationships, and coping strategies.
Step 2: Rating Scales and Questionnaires
To gain a full picture of how ADHD symptoms affect different aspects of life, standardized rating scales are completed by:
You – Self-reporting experiences with attention, impulse control, and executive functioning
Observers – Multiple individuals (such as a partner, close friend, family member, or colleague) provide insights into how symptoms present in personal and professional settings
Step 3: Data Analysis and Report Preparation
All gathered information, including self-report scales, observer ratings, and clinical impressions, is analyzed to determine patterns of executive functioning challenges. A comprehensive report is created, detailing symptom severity, impact on daily life, and personalized recommendations.
Step 4: Feedback Session
We meet to review the findings, discuss whether the results support an ADHD diagnosis, and explore the next steps. The session includes tailored strategies, workplace accommodations, and recommendations for management and support.
