At Canadian Psychotherapy Centre, we are here to support you through every stage. Our comprehensive ADHD assessment provides a profound insight into your child’s challenges and identifies potential school accommodations, ensuring they can reach their full potential. This process can help to pave the way for a brighter and better future.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) spill over into every area of a child’s life; it can impact their ability to make or keep friends, how they interact with their family, their self-esteem, and their capability to look after their own personal safety. However, with the right support and treatment plan, people with ADHD can thrive and live happy, fulfilling lives.
An ADHD assessment evaluates many skills, including attention, self-regulation, concentration, impulse control, and organization. Subtypes of ADHD include Primarily Hyperactive and Impulsive ADHD, Primarily Inattentive ADHD (ADD), or Combined Type ADHD. Knowing the subtype is helpful for a treatment plan and support strategy that will work best.
Inattentive ADHD is characterized primarily by difficulties maintaining attention and organization. It’s often associated with trouble following through on tasks. With this type, children or teens may daydream frequently and become easily distracted.
The subtype is often marked by excessive physical activity, impulsive behavior, and impulse control. Children and teens with this subtype often struggle with restlessness, impulsivity, and may find it challenging to wait their turn or think before acting.
This encompasses symptoms of both inattentive and hyperactivity-impulsive ADHD. It is the most common form of ADHD diagnosed in children and teens. They may exhibit challenges in sustaining attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulties with organization and focus.
