Comprehensive ADHD Evaluations for Adults & Children
At aMAZEin’ Minds Psychology, we offer ADHD assessment in Melbourne for children, teens, and adults. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based, helping you better understand your attention, regulation, and executive functioning without pathologising or framing these traits as deficits.
Whether you’re seeking greater clarity, exploring self-identity, or accessing school or workplace supports, our team is here to help you better understand your unique profile and needs.
What We Look At During an ADHD Assessment
Rather than focusing on labels or deficits, our ADHD assessments are designed to explore:
- Attention and focus patterns (e.g. distractibility, hyperfocus, sustaining attention)
- Executive functioning (e.g. planning, initiation, organisation, working memory, flexible thinking)
- Activity levels (including physical restlessness, mental pacing, or low energy periods)
- Emotional regulation and sensitivity
- Task completion, transitions, and daily routines
- Self-perception, masking, and lived experience of difference
We take a contextual and strengths-based approach, recognising that many of these traits develop in response to environment, expectations, and individual sensory profiles.
ADHD Assessments
For Children & Teens:
Our child and teen assessments are playful, collaborative, and trauma-informed. We work closely with families and schools to build a picture of how a child learns, regulates, and responds to their environment — including:
- Focus and task engagement
- Transitions, routines, and flexibility
- Emotional reactivity and regulation
- Learning styles and self-concept
- Social dynamics and sensory preferences.
Many children with ADHD and regulation differences experience big feelings around peer interactions, feedback, and perceived failure. Read more about rejection sensitivity and its impact on emotional wellbeing and behaviour.
Rather than “testing for problems,” our goal is to understand how the child’s brain works and how we can best support their growth and confidence.
For Adults:
Many adults come to us seeking clarity — often after years of wondering why life feels harder than it “should,” or why certain expectations are harder to meet. You might be experiencing:
- A tendency to procrastinate or become overwhelmed
- Trouble following through on plans, even when motivated
- A sense of inner restlessness or mental noise
- Intense emotions or difficulty regulating frustration
- A strong inner critic and perfectionism
- Feeling misunderstood, different, or “too much”
Whether you’re exploring identity, seeking workplace or academic adjustments, or wanting language to explain your experience to others, our ADHD assessment process offers insight — not labels. Rejection sensitivity is also a common and deeply felt experience for many neurodivergent adults.
What’s Involved?
A comprehensive ADHD assessment typically includes:
- A parent/carer or client interview
- Questionnaires for caregivers, teachers, or the individual
- Cognitive and executive functioning testing
- Behavioural and emotional profiling
- Review of educational, developmental, and social history
- A feedback session to go over findings and explore next steps
- A written report (including formal diagnosis if applicable, and strategies for home, school, or work)
We use evidence-based tools such as the WISC-V, WAIS-IV, Conners-4, and BRIEF-2, always framed through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
