ADHD Assessments
We carry out Assessments for children age 6 through to adulthood.
3 CCAA is now offering ADHD Assessments for children age 6 through adult.
Our staff have been trained in the DIVA Assessment for adults and the Qb Check assessment for children who may have ADHD.
If you think your child has either ADHD or autism, speak to us about what testing they will need. There's no one thing that can say whether a child has either condition, or both.
Are ADHD and Autism related?
ASD has many similarities to ADHD, but there are also differences between the two. Can a person be diagnosed with both ADHD and ASD? More than half of all individuals who have been diagnosed with ASD also have signs of ADHD. In fact, ADHD is the most common coexisting condition in children with ASD.
To diagnose ADHD, doctors look for a pattern of behaviours over time, like:
-
Being distracted or forgetful
-
Not following through
-
Having trouble waiting for a turn
-
Fidgeting or squirming (see chart below)
