ADHD Assessment for Adults in Melbourne
For adults seeking an ADHD assessment in Melbourne, Lynn’s approach focuses on understanding how ADHD impacts daily life, work, relationships, and other areas. The process involves self-reported questionnaires and observer-rated assessments to capture a comprehensive view of symptoms. Lynn also explores the impact of ADHD on cognitive functioning, attention span, and executive skills, which are essential for managing work and personal responsibilities.
After the assessment, Lynn provides a detailed report that includes the diagnosis, if applicable, along with specific recommendations for treatment and support. This report can be used to guide further psychological treatment or shared with other healthcare professionals involved in your care.
ADHD Assessment for Parents
Living Nurture Psychology also offers ADHD assessments for children and adolescents. For parents concerned about their child’s behaviour or academic performance, these assessments can help identify if ADHD is a factor. Lynn conducts clinical interviews with parents and children, observes behaviour, and uses standardised tests to understand the child’s unique profile. This approach allows for a personalised ADHD treatment plan that addresses the child’s needs at home and in school.
Psychological Treatment for ADHD
Following the assessment, Lynn offers psychological treatment for ADHD, focusing on behavioural therapy, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and other evidence-based methods. The goal is to help individuals manage ADHD symptoms, improve attention, and focus, and develop effective coping strategies. For adults, treatment might also include guidance on workplace accommodations and strategies for managing stress and relationships.
For children and adolescents, Lynn works with parents and educators to create a supportive environment that encourages positive behaviour and academic success. This may involve recommendations for school accommodations, behavioural therapy, or other specialised support services.
