EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
(ADHD) ASSESSMENT
STEP 1
QUESTIONNAIRES
It is a good idea to do a free questionnaire on your executive functioning to see if you are scoring around scores typical for ADHDers. The ASRS is a good place to start. If you are wanting to see whether medication support is right for you, you will need to see a psychiatrist. You don't have to see a psychologist for an ADHD assessment before a psychiatrist - while some psychiatrists prefer a psychologist assessment first, others will diagnose and discuss treatment without this step. Have a chat to your GP if you are unsure.

STEP 2
INTAKe
The initial session will be about your history and current functioning. At the end of the session, we will have a good idea of whether assessment is worth considering. If you go ahead with formal assessment, we will book a 1.5 hour appointment within 2 - 4 weeks.

STEP 3
ASSESSMENT
The assessment is about your executive functioning and you be asked open-ended questions that are based on the diagnostic criteria (Australia uses the DSM-5). I use the DIVA-5 and added in the good stuff! You can prepare for the assessment by jotting down some thoughts about what you find easy and hard. You will have some other questionnaires to fill out afterward, and a family member or friend will fill some out as well if it is safe to do so. At the end, we will book an hour session to go through the results within 2 - 4 weeks.
