ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, executive functioning, organization, impulse control, activity level and emotional regulation.
ADHD can look different from person to person. Some individuals experience obvious difficulties with attention or impulsivity, while others may primarily struggle with organization, procrastination, time management, forgetfulness or keeping up with competing demands. ADHD can affect school, work, relationships, home life and day-to-day functioning.
At Stillwater, we provide in-depth, comprehensive ADHD assessments that involve approximately 8 hours of clinical time, from initial intake and clinical interviewing through standardized assessment, interpretation, and detailed report writing.
A diagnosis should be based on more than simply completing an online questionnaire.
We take the time to gather information from multiple sources and consider the individual’s history, current functioning and real-world experiences. The result is a detailed clinical report, not just a diagnosis or a brief summary of questionnaire results.
Your psychologist integrates information from the clinical interview, questionnaires and other assessment measures to develop a comprehensive understanding of your presenting concerns.
ADHD does not occur in a vacuum. Where appropriate, we gather information from people who know the individual well.
For teens: A parent and/or teacher may be interviewed or asked to complete questionnaires.
For adults: A partner, family member or close friend may be asked to provide collateral information through questionnaires or an interview, when appropriate and with the individual’s consent.
Gathering information from multiple perspectives can provide a fuller picture of functioning across different settings.
We interpret assessment results alongside your history and reported functioning. The purpose is not simply to determine whether someone “checks enough boxes,” but to understand the overall clinical picture.
Following the assessment, the psychologist prepares a comprehensive report outlining the findings, clinical conclusions and individualized recommendations.
Where appropriate, recommendations may address strategies and supports for school, work, home and everyday functioning.
An assessment can provide more than a diagnostic answer. A comprehensive assessment may help you:
– Better understand longstanding difficulties with attention and executive functioning –
– Determine whether ADHD may be contributing to current challenges –
– Identify strengths as well as areas of difficulty –
– Understand how symptoms may be affecting school, work, relationships and daily life –
– Provide documentation that may support requests for appropriate school or workplace accommodations –
– Help inform treatment and support planning –
– Provide practical recommendations for managing areas of difficulty –
– Gain a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing –
For students, an ADHD assessment may also provide useful information when discussing educational supports and accommodations with schools such as Fort McMurray Public Schools, Fort McMurray Catholic Schools, or Keyano College.
At Stillwater Therapy, we believe a meaningful assessment requires time, clinical judgment and a complete picture of the individual. We don’t believe assessment should be reduced to a questionnaire and a quick appointment.
Our goal is to provide you with a thorough assessment and a report that is actually useful, not simply a diagnostic label.
