At Disha Counseling and Assessment Services, we offer professional ADHD Screening Services in Edmonton to help individuals who suspect they may have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Our comprehensive screening process is designed to provide a clear understanding of whether ADHD is affecting your life and offer insights into potential next steps for treatment and management.
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect both children and adults. It can impact many areas of life, including work, school, relationships, and daily functioning. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, ADHD screening may provide the clarity you need to seek appropriate treatment and support.
ADHD is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed, especially in adults. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with tasks like time management, organization, focus, and emotional regulation, which can negatively impact their personal, academic, or professional life. Early identification and diagnosis of ADHD can lead to effective interventions that improve quality of life and overall functioning.
ADHD Screening provides:
Early Detection: Identifying ADHD early can prevent unnecessary struggles and help individuals develop coping strategies to improve their lives.
Personalized Recommendations: The screening process includes a tailored approach, offering specific guidance for managing ADHD symptoms based on the individual’s needs.
Improved Academic and Workplace Success: By understanding ADHD, individuals can seek accommodations and strategies to enhance their academic or professional performance.
Emotional and Behavioral Support: Early ADHD screening allows individuals to receive emotional support and behavioral strategies that improve self-esteem and reduce frustration.
ADHD can manifest in different ways, and its symptoms can vary across age groups. Common signs of ADHD in both children and adults include:
Inattention Symptoms:
Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities.
Frequent mistakes due to lack of attention to detail.
Difficulty organizing tasks and activities.
Frequently losing things necessary for tasks (e.g., keys, paperwork, assignments).
Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli.
Hyperactivity Symptoms:
Fidgeting or squirming in seats.
Inability to stay seated in situations where it is expected (e.g., at work or in class).
Difficulty engaging in activities quietly.
Constantly moving or talking.
Impulsivity Symptoms:
Interrupting or intruding on others’ conversations or games.
Difficulty waiting for one’s turn.
Making impulsive decisions without thinking through consequences.
If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms and they significantly interfere with daily functioning, ADHD screening can help clarify whether ADHD is the underlying cause.
