ADHD Assessments for Children and Teenagers
Is Your Child Struggling with Attention, Focus, or Impulsivity?
At Literacy and Learning, our ADHD assessments for children and teens are designed to help you understand the reasons behind your child’s challenges—and what you can do to support them.
Comprehensive ADHD Assessments
Our process begins with a detailed initial consultation with parents. This helps us gather a thorough understanding of your child’s behaviour, learning, and emotional wellbeing. While we assess for ADHD, we also explore other contributing factors such as:
-
Anxiety and mood concerns
-
Behavioural issues
-
Executive functioning skills (e.g. planning, organisation, self-regulation)
When needed, we may conduct structured interviews with parents and/or your child to gather more detailed behavioural information.
We also carry out an assessment of cognitive functioning to identify your child’s unique learning strengths and areas of difficulty. This allows us to observe how attention-related behaviours may be affecting their performance and daily functioning.
A Supportive, Child-Friendly Approach
Our experienced Psychologists use a warm and engaging approach to help your child feel at ease throughout the process. We tailor each assessment to your child’s age, needs, and personality—ensuring we get accurate, meaningful results.
You’ll receive a personalised report with clear, practical insights and recommendations to support your child at home and school.

A note on ADHD assessments for children and teens Assessments at the Literacy and Learning Centre are completed by Psychologists. For those seeking medication pathways for the treatment of ADHD, a paediatric assessment is needed. Our reports can be shared with your child’s paediatrician to assist in this process; however, it is important to note that all paediatricians will follow their own assessment process. An assessment does not guarantee that medication will be prescribed. Assessments completed at the Literacy and Learning Centre will provide a detailed description of a child’s strengths and weaknesses in a report. This information will assist parents and teachers to better understand and manage their child’s neurodivergence, with detailed strategies for support provided.
