Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect focus, emotional regulation, organization, and day-to-day functioning. For many people in Calgary, seeking an ADHD assessment is the first step toward clarity, self-understanding, and appropriate support.
At Calgary Mind and Wellness Clinic, both child and adult assessments are welcoming, thorough, and grounded in compassion.
What Is an ADHD Assessment & Why Might Someone Need One?
An ADHD assessment helps determine whether symptoms such as distractibility, restlessness, forgetfulness, or difficulty following tasks are related to ADHD or another factor. Many clients pursue testing because they’ve struggled at work, school, or home and feel their efforts don’t match their outcomes. Others simply want a clearer understanding of how their brain works.
What Benefits Can a Formal ADHD Diagnosis Provide?
A clear diagnosis can be incredibly validating. Many people spend years feeling “lazy,” “disorganised,” or “not good enough,” when in reality, ADHD has been shaping how their brain processes information.
A formal diagnosis can open access to accommodations at work or school, personalized therapy, skill-building strategies, and, most importantly, a more compassionate understanding of yourself.
Knowing the “why” behind your or your child’s challenges allows you to build a plan that truly works for you.
What Happens During an ADHD Assessment at Calgary Mind and Wellness Clinic?
Assessments typically include a detailed clinical interview, validated questionnaires, and cognitive testing where appropriate. Your therapist explores your history, strengths, challenges, and patterns over time.
The goal is not to “pass or fail” but to understand your unique experience. Every step is explained in clear language so you always know what’s happening and why.
How Does the Clinic Ensure a Supportive, Non-Judgmental Experience?
The team prioritises warmth and respect. Many people worry about being misunderstood or dismissed, so clinicians take care to create a safe space. Your concerns are listened to without assumptions, and the process moves at a pace that feels comfortable.
What Happens After the Assessment?
You’ll receive feedback that outlines your results, what they mean, and what next steps may help, whether that includes therapy, workplace accommodations, skill-building strategies, or simply having the validation of a clear diagnosis.
If you are interested in conducting an ADHD assessment on your child, the result may have an impact on your child’s educational experience. The clinic also offers treatment and ongoing support if desired.
