ADHD SCREENING
AND
BEHAVIOURAL
ASSESSMENT
Port Elizabeth | Eastern Cape
​
A screening assessment for children, teenagers and adults to determine whether an individual may have ADHD and how severe the symptoms are.
​
Many factors can cause underperformance or difficulties in home life, school or work. If there are concerns regarding you or your child possibly having ADHD, this assessment can provide clarity.
​
This assessment is in the format of a questionnaire and is administered to the parent of the child as well as a teacher that knows the child well. This allows for comparisons across settings and environments. For individuals over 18, a self report questionnaire is used.
​
This assessment can be used for:
-
Screening for ADHD
-
Monitoring effectiveness of certain medications or behaviour modification techniques
-
Looking for indications of other emotional or behavioural disorders such as depression, anxiety or aggression
-
Providing perspectives on a child's behaviour from people who regularly interact with the child
-
Assists doctors in developing an intervention and treatment plan
-
Creates a comprehensive overview of behaviours
​
An assessment such as this can be combined with other assessments to provide a comprehensive view of the individual. This ensures that other factors that may potentially be influencing the individual are not excluded.
