ADHD Assessments in Calgary
Comprehensive Assessments for Learning, Attention, and Development
Many people reach adolescence or adulthood before realizing that attention challenges, difficulty with organization, or struggles with follow-through may be related to ADHD. A psychological assessment can provide clarity by evaluating attention, executive functioning, and cognitive patterns that affect daily life.
At Ten Psychology, we provide ADHD assessments in Calgary for older teens and adults who want a clearer understanding of how attention and executive functioning may be affecting school, work, or daily responsibilities.
What Is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a structured psychological evaluation used to determine whether symptoms are consistent with Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. The assessment helps identify patterns related to attention, impulsivity, executive functioning, and cognitive processing.
A comprehensive ADHD evaluation may include:
Clinical interviews and developmental history
Standardized attention and executive functioning tests
Behaviour rating scales completed by parents, teachers, or the individual
Cognitive and learning assessments, when appropriate
Review of academic or work functioning
The goal is to develop a clear understanding of how attention and executive functioning affect daily life.
Signs an ADHD Assessment May Be Helpful
Individuals often seek an ADHD assessment when attention challenges begin to interfere with school, work, or daily responsibilities.
Common concerns include:
Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks
Trouble staying organized or managing time
Forgetting responsibilities or losing track of tasks
Struggling with procrastination or task completion
Feeling overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities
Challenges with focus in school, work, or daily life
An assessment can help clarify whether these challenges are related to ADHD or another factor.
