Tests & assessment for ADHD should aim to capture the core difficulties seen within ADHD (inattention, distractibility, hyperactivity and poor impulse control) both currently and historically for the individual. This is done by meeting with parents, teachers and carrying out various observations or child focussed assessment. It can also be important to assess for associated difficulties such as learning needs and sensory sensitivities that may help to capture the full picture of the individual. Key professions involved are Clinical Psychologists, Occupational therapists and Educational specialists.
