What is included in the assessment
A professional ADHD diagnostic assessment should consider the whole person. At Advanced Assessments Ltd, the assessment pathway may include a structured clinical interview, developmental history, current symptom review, standardised rating scales, behavioural observation, collateral information where available, and consideration of emotional, educational and functional factors.
For adults, assessment may explore work, education, relationships, organisation, time management, emotional regulation, impulsivity, restlessness and daily functioning. For children and adolescents, it may consider attention, activity level, learning, behaviour, peer relationships, family functioning and developmental history.
Standardised rating scales may support the assessment process but do not replace clinical judgement. Where appropriate, information may also be gathered from someone who knows the client well. For adults, this may include a partner, parent, sibling, friend or another person able to comment on day-to-day functioning. For children and adolescents, parent and school information can provide valuable additional insight. Further rating scales or interviews may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
