ADHD Assessments

At Empowered People & Co, our ADHD assessments are designed to offer more than just a label, they provide clarity, insight, and meaningful next steps. Whether you're exploring ADHD for the first time or seeking updated evidence for school, work, or NDIS, our process is comprehensive, trauma-informed, and person-centred.

We assess across the lifespan, from children to adults, with a focus on function, experience, and individual strengths. We recognise that ADHD presents differently across genders, life stages, and cultural backgrounds. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based, culturally responsive and inclusive, and grounded in understanding the whole person, not just identifying symptoms.

Who It’s For

You might benefit from an ADHD assessment if you are:

  • A child or teen struggling with focus, impulsivity, or emotional regulation

  • An adult exploring late diagnosis or self-understanding

  • Someone navigating overlapping presentations like trauma, anxiety, or autism

  • Seeking support or documentation for education, employment, therapy, or NDIS access

What It Involves

Our ADHD assessments include:

  • A thorough clinical interview and developmental history

  • Behavioural screeners and standardised psychometric tools

  • Cognitive assessment (e.g. WISC-V, WAIS-IV, Leiter-3)

  • Academic achievement testing (e.g. WIAT-III), if relevant

  • Adaptive behaviour assessment (e.g. Vineland-3)

  • Functional assessments across home, school, or work settings

  • Screening for co-occurring conditions (e.g. anxiety, autism, trauma) and differential diagnosis

We also seek input from caregivers, educators, or other professionals where appropriate, to ensure a well-rounded understanding.

What You Receive

  • A detailed, trauma-informed report that offers diagnostic clarity, individualised recommendations, and real-world strategies

  • Reports tailored to support school accommodations, NDIS access, workplace adjustments, or ongoing therapy

  • Optional follow-up consultations or advocacy support to help implement recommendations and next steps

Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child or an adult exploring your own story, we're here to walk beside you with care, insight, and practical guidance.
