ADHD diagnosis for children

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, often identified during childhood. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for helping children reach their full potential at home, in school, and in social settings. We offer professional ADHD assessments tailored to children’s unique needs, combining evidence-based tools and a compassionate approach.

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a condition that affects a child’s ability to focus, regulate impulses, and manage hyperactivity. It can manifest differently in each child, with some showing inattentive behaviors, others primarily hyperactive-impulsive tendencies, or a combination of both. Early signs may include difficulty following instructions, excessive restlessness, and challenges in maintaining attention.

ADHD evaluation is recommended if your child shows persistent difficulties with:

Paying attention and completing tasks.
Managing impulsive behaviors.
Sitting still or staying focused in structured environments.

Identifying ADHD early allows for timely interventions that can significantly improve a child’s development and quality of life. Diagnosis helps:
