ADHD Assessment – Eltham
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect many aspects of daily life — from focus and organisation to relationships and work performance. If you’re based in Eltham or nearby suburbs, our clinic offers comprehensive ADHD assessments designed to provide clarity, guidance, and a clear path forward.
Understanding ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can present in adults. While many people associate it with restlessness or difficulty concentrating, ADHD often includes a variety of symptoms, such as:
Trouble staying on task or following through with commitments
Frequently misplacing important items or forgetting deadlines
Feeling easily distracted by noise or visual stimulation
Difficulty managing time or prioritising tasks
Impulsive decisions or speaking before thinking
For some, ADHD symptoms have been present since childhood but were never formally diagnosed. For others, challenges become more noticeable in adulthood when responsibilities increase.
Why Seek an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment can help you:
Understand whether your challenges are linked to ADHD or another condition
Gain a formal diagnosis that can assist with accessing workplace or academic supports
Receive tailored recommendations for strategies and treatments
Reduce frustration by identifying specific strengths and weaknesses
Many people feel a sense of relief after assessment, as it provides validation and a better understanding of themselves.
Our ADHD Assessment Process
At our practice, we follow a thorough, evidence-based approach to ADHD assessment for clients in Eltham and surrounding areas. This typically includes:
Initial consultation – discussing your background, current challenges, and goals for the assessment.
Standardised questionnaires – completed by you (and sometimes a parent, partner, or teacher) to capture multiple perspectives.
Clinical interview – exploring developmental history, mental health background, and daily functioning.
Cognitive and attention testing – assessing areas like memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.
Feedback session – providing results, diagnosis (if applicable), and practical recommendations.
Our aim is not only to determine whether ADHD is present, but also to understand your unique profile so that any treatment or support plan is highly personalised.
Support Beyond the Diagnosis
If ADHD is diagnosed, we can guide you through next steps. This may include:
Referrals for medical treatment if appropriate
Practical coaching on organisation, planning, and time management
Strategies for improving focus and reducing overwhelm
Psychoeducation for you and your family to better understand ADHD
Recommendations for workplace or school accommodations
Even if ADHD is not diagnosed, the assessment often identifies other factors — such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences — that can be addressed to improve daily life.
