Signs & Symptoms of ADHD in Children

ADHD presents differently in every child. Some are hyperactive and impulsive, while others struggle with inattention. Common signs include:

Inattention
Difficulty staying focused, forgetfulness, trouble following instructions.
Hyperactivity
Constant movement, fidgeting, excessive talking.
Impulsivity
Interrupting conversations, acting without thinking, difficulty waiting turns.

If your child frequently displays these behaviours, an ADHD evaluation can determine the best course of action.

Our ADHD Testing & Assessment Process

Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation follows gold-standard methods to ensure accurate results and tailored recommendations.

Step 1: Parent & Teacher Questionnaires
Parents & teachers complete standardized ADHD rating scales (Conners-4, SNAP-IV) to assess symptoms in different settings.
Step 2: Clinical Interview & Behavioral Observations
A child psychologist conducts a structured interview to understand attention challenges, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Step 3: ADHD-Specific Cognitive Testing
Performance-based tests like CPT-3 (Continuous Performance Test) measure attention, impulsivity, and response control.
Step 4: Comprehensive Diagnostic Report
A detailed report includes: 🔹 Formal ADHD diagnosis (if applicable) 🔹 School & home recommendations 🔹 Accommodations for IEPs & 504 Plans.
