Recognizing the Signs
When to Seek an Assessment
Many children are active and energetic, but when difficulties with attention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity begin to affect learning, behavior, or relationships, an ADHD assessment can provide clarity.
Common indicators parents notice include:
-
Inattention
Difficulty sustaining focus, careless mistakes, poor organization, forgetfulness, or trouble following instructions.
-
Hyperactivity
Excessive movement, fidgeting, difficulty staying seated, or constant talking.
-
Impulsivity
Interrupting others, acting without thinking, difficulty waiting turns, or emotional outbursts.
-
Academic or School Concerns
Ongoing teacher feedback about focus, behavior, or underperformance despite effort.
-

An ADHD diagnosis helps identify the right strategies, accommodations, and supports — it does not define your child’s abilities.
