ADHD & Attention Assessment
in English · İzmir · Online
Attention difficulties can show up as trouble staying focused, starting and finishing tasks, planning, waiting or controlling first reactions. An ADHD and attention assessment looks at attention and other cognitive processes together with emotional, behavioural and developmental characteristics. The process is planned individually and can be carried out in English.
Who is it for?
- Children whose teachers report attention or behaviour difficulties
- Children and adolescents who find it hard to start, sustain and complete schoolwork
- Adults with long-standing difficulties in focus, time management and organisation
- Families of children already diagnosed with ADHD who want a clearer cognitive profile
How does it work?
- Initial meeting with parents (or with the adult client) about development, daily life and the reason for referral; with consent, information from teachers can also be gathered.
- Assessment of attention, working memory and executive functions with standardised methods, which may include the MOXO computerised attention test.
- Findings are interpreted together with interviews and observations; when needed, collaboration with child and adolescent psychiatry is recommended.
- Findings and recommendations are shared with the client or the family after the assessment. Whether a written report is prepared is planned by the specialist according to the purpose and scope of the assessment and the person’s needs.
