Testing ADHD
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) is a genetic biological predisposition. Due to the nature of the disorder, it can impede an individual’s capacity to learn at the same rate as their peers. If left undiagnosed, ADHD can not only have a severe impact on the lives of the affected but their peers too. If you believe that you or your loved one has ADHD, contact Educational Assessments today. Our specialists offer ADHD tests from our facility in Melbourne.
Without a professional test, ADHD can inhibit day-to-day activities and academic progression. Unfortunately, ADHD is a genetic disorder and so children will have it for life. Affected children are prone to upsets, despite lacking control over their behavioural tendencies. Yet through maturation, some have seen the severity of their symptoms diminish. This could be due to maturity and hormonal stability. Conversely, the affected might have learned coping strategies to adapt to their environment. However, this is only the case for a minority of ADHD sufferers and so a diagnosis is vital.

ADHD Testing in Melbourne
Despite these typical behavioural symptoms, there are two distinct categories of ADHD. Most individuals with ADHD have problems across both categories – although there are outliers. There is a form of ADHD known simply as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). This can go unnoticed as its behavioural symptoms are tough to recognise and can be less obvious.
