- Exploration of current symptoms and their impact on daily functioning (e.g., work, relationships, academics).
- Review of family history for ADHD or other mental health conditions.
2. Behavioral & Symptom Assessments
- Administration of standardized ADHD rating scales (e.g., ASRS, Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales).
- Collateral information from family members, teachers, or significant others via questionnaires or interviews if relevant.
3. Objective Testing
- Computer-based Qb Check to measure hyperactivity, attention and impulsivity.
4. Observational & Contextual Data
- Consideration of symptoms across different settings (e.g., work, school, home).
- Gathering evidence of ADHD-related challenges in multiple environments.
5. Screening for Comorbid Conditions
- Evaluation for co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders.
- Differential diagnosis to rule out conditions that might mimic ADHD symptoms.
6. Feedback Session

- Discussion of next steps, including treatment recommendations (e.g., medication, therapy, coaching).
7. Written Report
