ADHD

One of our professionals will call you directly to set up an appointment and explain the procedures.

If you have already completed an assessment at another clinic, it is not necessary to complete another evaluation at Medipsy to have access to our services. If that is your case, please mention that you have already been assessed when you call the Clinic for an appointment. A professional will return your call and schedule a consultation that will aim to explain, if necessary, the conclusions of the assessment you have completed with another professional. This consultation will also aim to discuss how these recommendations can be translated into an intervention program, and to present the various services and options that may be available to you.

The ADHD assessment is a specialized evaluation. It contains the following:

An interview session to evaluate your life context, strengths and challenges
A testing session(s) to assess how your brain functions
A feedback session to make sure that you understand the test results and recommendations

*NOTE: During the evaluation, the neuropsychologist may see that your tests suggest a different problem instead of - or in addition to - ADHD. At that point, he or she may recommend that you do a more comprehensive evaluation to expand the scope of the assessment. He or she will answer all your questions and collaborate with you in deciding, but the decision will always be yours.

Again, please note that if you have already completed an assessment at another clinic, it is not necessary to complete another evaluation to have access to our services. In this case, please mention that you have already been assessed when you call the Clinic. A professional will then call you to schedule a consultation; this consultation aims to explain, if necessary, the conclusions of the assessment you have completed with another professional, to discuss how these recommendations can be translated into an intervention program, and to present the various services and options that may be available to you.
