Self Assessment

Self-Assessment: An Interactive Tool for Evaluating ADHD Symptoms in Children

Welcome to our interactive self-assessment tool designed to help you evaluate potential ADHD symptoms in your child. This tool is not a diagnostic instrument but rather a guide to help you understand and observe common behaviours associated with ADHD. If you suspect that your child might have ADHD, please consult a healthcare professional for a formal evaluation but start acting immediately.

When evaluating ADHD symptoms in your child, consider these key factors:

1. Gender differences

Boys: Often exhibit hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Girls: May display inattention more subtly, often being perceived as daydreaming or shy.

2. Multiple settings

Symptoms must occur in more than one setting (e.g., home, school) to consider an ADHD diagnosis. Look for patterns of behaviour across different environments.

Instructions:

Answer the questions based on your child's behaviour over the past six months.
Be as accurate and honest as possible to get a clear picture of your child's behaviour.
