Adult ADHD Assessments
Adult ADHD Diagnostic Assessment (Ages 18+)
A greater understanding of your neurodevelopmental profile can assist in identifying strengths, unique qualities and supports.
Our assessment team provides comprehensive psychology and learning assessments to accurately identify any underlying developmental difficulties you may be experiencing.
We understand different and diverse presentations and welcome referrals for people of all genders. We are attentive to the care needed when assessing women, and gender-diverse people, who often go undiagnosed because they may present subtly compared to the more traditionally recognised characteristics.
Following the assessment you will be offered a feedback session to discuss the findings and receive a comprehensive report containing a range of recommendations and strategies.
It is important to note that we are a psychology-only assessment clinic therefore if you wish to explore medication or funding options, you may require additional consultation/assessment by a psychiatrist.
What does an adult ADHD assessment involve?
An adult ADHD assessment involves a 90 minute clinical interview with the client, as well as additional measures and questionnaires. Upon completion of the assessment, a report will be provided to you and discussed during a 60 minute feedback session with the assessing clinician 4-6 weeks after the assessment.
Upon completion of the assessment, a comprehensive report will be provided and discussed during a feedback session.
The Assessment Process
What is a pre-assessment consultation?
This is a 50-80 minute initial consultation which is required prior to all assessments at The Kidd Clinic. This allows the clinician to gather information about the client’s developmental history, discuss the assessment process, and answer any questions that arise.
This appointment allows our assessors to determine the most appropriate (if any) assessment/s and advise you on which assessment pathway to proceed with according to the client’s presentation and needs.
