ADHD and Autism Assessment Services
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are mental disorders that can affect attention, behavior, and social interactions in significant ways. At Ottawa Therapy Group, our ADHD and autism assessment services in Ottawa help individuals and families gain clarity on these challenges.
A diagnostic assessment evaluates a range of factors, including medical history, behavioral patterns, and cognitive abilities, to determine whether ADHD, autism, or other developmental disabilities may be present.
Our diagnostic assessments provide insight into symptoms of ADHD and autism, such as difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, poor planning, or struggles with communication and social skills. By gathering information from various sources—like the child’s doctor, teacher(s), or other adults who know the individual—we ensure a thorough evaluation. Standardized tests and clinical interviews also play a key role in creating a full picture of the individual’s strengths and needs.
While an assessment won’t “fix” the challenges, it’s an important step toward understanding what’s happening and creating a plan for support. With the insights from a detailed written report and feedback session, you’ll gain practical recommendations for school, work, or daily life.
Who Should Consider an Autism or ADHD Assessment?
Our ADHD and autism assessments are for children, teens, and adults who are struggling with symptoms that affect their everyday life.
For children, these kinds of ADHD and autism symptoms can include consistent and persistent trouble paying attention or emotional outbursts, and they can also manifest in the social realm, such as difficulty making friends. For teens and adults, signs such as disorganization, poor time management, or struggles at school or work may indicate the need for an ADHD evaluation.
Understanding the root causes allows families and individuals to take steps toward school accommodations, treatment options, or workplace support.
Following the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations to empower you to move forward with confidence.
