Comprehensive Assessment
If your family has a child age 6-12 with symptoms of ADHD
Contact us for a screening interview on the phone.
If our assessment is appropriate for your child, parents are asked to complete questionnaires and participate in an interview.
With parent's permission, we also ask teachers to complete questionnaires about the child’s social interactions, behavior, and academic performance.
Your child will participate in 2~3 sessions
An interview and detailed assessments (IQ, academic achievement, memory, language, problem-solving, social skills) are administered.
Children are also asked to complete computer games, which are experimental tasks to assess their responses to reinforcements such as winning and losing points.
Feedback
A summary report and explanation of assessment results will be provided during a feedback session.
We may ask if you and/or your child would be willing to complete additional experimental tasks at the time or in future.
