Adult ADHD Assessment Sydney

Part of our Young Adult Psychometric Assessment Services

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can continue into adulthood and may affect focus, organisation, time management and emotional regulation. An Adult ADHD assessment can help identify whether ADHD may be contributing to the challenges a young adult is experiencing in study, work or daily life.

Our Adult ADHD assessments in Sydney provide a comprehensive evaluation designed to better understand an individual’s behaviour, attention patterns and executive functioning. The goal of the assessment is to determine whether the individual meets the diagnostic criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and to provide clear recommendations for support.

Understanding ADHD can help individuals recognise their strengths and challenges, develop effective strategies, and improve overall wellbeing.

What is an Adult ADHD Assessment?

An Adult ADHD assessment involves meeting with a psychologist to complete a detailed evaluation of attention, behaviour and cognitive functioning. The assessment process includes a comprehensive clinical interview to explore current symptoms, developmental history and how attention or organisational difficulties may be affecting daily life.

The assessment may include:

  • Clinical interviews with the individual

  • Behavioural rating scales and questionnaires

  • Professional observation of attention and behaviour

  • A cognitive assessment to explore executive functioning, problem-solving and intellectual strengths

These tools help psychologists gather a complete picture of how attention, impulsivity or hyperactivity may present in everyday situations.
