Pointe-Claire | Mile-Ex ADHD Assessment
At Clinique Médicale 360 – Mile-Ex, we offer assessment services for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, better known as ADHD. This service is intended for children, teenagers and adults who wish to better understand difficulties related to attention, organization or impulsivity.
What is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect many aspects of daily life, including concentration, organization, time management, working memory, impulsivity and the ability to complete certain tasks.
Its manifestations can vary greatly from one person to another. In children and teenagers, ADHD may present as difficulty staying focused in class, following instructions, completing homework, staying organized or managing restlessness and impulsivity. In adults, it may appear as frequent forgetfulness, procrastination, difficulty prioritizing or a feeling of being constantly overwhelmed.
At Clinique Médicale 360, the assessment aims to provide a clear and nuanced picture of the person’s cognitive functioning. Our approach helps identify strengths, challenges and support needs, in order to provide practical recommendations adapted to each person’s reality.
What does the assessment involve?
The ADHD assessment is conducted by a qualified neuropsychologist using clinical and psychometric tools that help analyze different cognitive functions, including:
- attention;
- concentration;
- executive functions;
- working memory;
- organization;
- impulsivity;
- processing speed;
- general cognitive functioning.
At Clinique Médicale 360, the process is adapted to the person’s age, reason for consultation and life context. It may include questionnaires, neuropsychological tests, a collection of information about daily functioning and, when relevant, information from the school, family or professional environment.
Depending on the specific needs of the person being assessed, other tests or questionnaires may be used to complete the analysis and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
Why get an ADHD assessment?
An ADHD assessment can help better understand difficulties related to attention, concentration, organization or impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. It can also help clarify support needs and guide the next steps, whether at school, at work, at home or in personal life.
Following the assessment, Clinique Médicale 360 provides a clear report including clinical observations, relevant results and personalized recommendations. The goal is to offer the person being assessed, their family or the professionals involved practical guidance to better support daily functioning.
