When evaluating a child for ADHD, LCTEA uses a variety of assessment tools to gather information. Parents and educators are asked to complete various forms, including checklists, behavior questionnaires, or rating scales. These tools are an essential component of a comprehensive evaluation for ADHD.

 

This multidimensional diagnostic evaluation captures the impact on home, school and social functioning. The assessment may include the following:

 

• parent and child interviews

• a bio-psycho-social assessment interview including family history

• parent- and teacher-completed child behavior rating scales

• parent self-report measures

• direct behavioral observations of the child in clinical settings

• review of prior school and medical records

• computer-based test

​

After completing the diagnostic evaluation, a treatment plan and report is developed with treatment recommendations and/or referral for additional evaluations.
