Getting an ADHD assessment for your child may seem daunting. 

At Paper Planes, we aim to make the process positive and supportive. Here's what you need to know: 

Why assess for ADHD?

A comprehensive ADHD assessment can be useful, when concerns regarding attention/ concentration and/or hyperactivity have been identified by a parent, school staff or GP. The results of an ADHD assessment help your child’s school cater for any educational needs, and guide you in a direction when seeking treatment, diagnosis, or support. 

​

What are the benefits of a comprehensive assessment?

• You want to better understand your child’s strengths and challenges. An assessment is NOT just about finding out “what is wrong”, it is about acknowledging and suggesting ways to utilise the strengths that your child has
• Knowing your child’s profile allows you to advocate more clearly for support for your child. 
• You want specific recommendations for how to best support your child with their learning
• Our assessments will equip you with practical, evidence-based strategies to enhance their overall functioning.
