How is ADHD diagnosed and what can you expect during an ADHD assessment? There's many different parts that make up a thorough ADHD assessment, and by being prepared for them in advance, you will be able to know what to expect with the process.
My names Dante, I'm a registered psychologist, and I'm going to try to quickly but accurately walk you through what you might encounter when you or your child gets assessed for ADHD.

Not every clinician tests with the EXACT same procedure, but they should follow the same guidelines for an accurate assessment.
