ADHD Testing for Adults

At Lumos Developmental Clinic, we understand the complexities and challenges adults face when living with undiagnosed ADHD. Recognizing ADHD in adulthood can be the key to unlocking a more focused, organized, and fulfilling life. Our clinic is dedicated to providing thorough and comprehensive evaluations for adults suspecting or dealing with ADHD.

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects one’s ability to regulate attention, impulse control, and executive function. It’s a misconception that ADHD can be easily diagnosed through a brief conversation or simple checklists. Our clinic believes in a detailed and extensive approach to diagnosing this condition.

Our assessment process is designed to offer you a meticulous evaluation, ensuring that your diagnosis is accurate and that the treatment plan we recommend will have a meaningful impact on your daily life. This process includes:

Structured Clinical Interviews

Tailored specifically to identify ADHD’s unique characteristics in adults, allowing our specialists to understand your experiences and symptoms in depth.

Comprehensive Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing

These tests are crucial in assessing the cognitive processes underlying ADHD, helping us to differentiate ADHD from other conditions that may have similar symptoms.

Multi-Faceted Information Gathering

We go beyond just the individual’s viewpoint. Our process includes gathering detailed information about your functioning across several life areas, not only from you but also from at least one other person who knows you well. This holistic view ensures all aspects of potential ADHD impacts are considered.

Following the assessment, we provide a comprehensive report detailing your diagnostic outcome and tailored treatment recommendations. Should you meet the criteria for ADHD, this report can also support applications for workplace or school accommodations, helping you to achieve your full potential in every aspect of life. Our ADHD testing for adults can be conducted in-person at our office in Kelowna, or entirely remotely via teleconferencing.

At Lumos Developmental Clinic, we’re committed to shining a light on your path to better understanding and managing ADHD. Join us as we explore together how we can illuminate your brightest self.
