Target Clients:

• Individuals of any age

• Exhibiting persistent symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity

• Symptoms present for at least six months and observed across multiple settings (e.g., home, school)

• Symptoms significantly impair daily social interactions, academic performance, and/or general functioning

Tools (as appropriate):

• Clinical observation

• Standardized rating scales, such as the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behaviors (SWAN) scale

• Standardized assessment instruments, including The Conners Continuous Performance Test Third Edition (Conners CPT-3)

• Telephone interviews with teachers

As a diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) must be confirmed by a psychiatrist, the educational psychologist will, if deemed necessary following the assessment, provide a referral letter to facilitate further follow-up with a private doctor or public hospital. In the interim, parents may submit the assessment report to the school to enable the child to receive appropriate learning support as early as possible.
