ADHD Assessment in Wairarapa

I offer private ADHD assessments for children, teens, and adults across the Wairarapa and Wellington regions. An ADHD assessment helps you understand attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and how these factors affect learning, behaviour, and everyday life.

My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and neuroaffirming, with a clear focus on strengths as well as support needs. Assessments are suitable for families or adults seeking clarity, diagnosis, or tailored recommendations for home, school, or work.

Areas we usually explore:

• Attention, concentration, and distractibility
• Impulsivity and self-regulation
• Working memory and processing speed
• Learning strengths and challenges
• Behaviour patterns at home and school
• Developmental and family history

What the Assessment Includes

• Initial consultation and developmental/behavioural history
• ADHD rating scales and standardised questionnaires
• Cognitive or educational assessment (if required)
• Teacher or employed input (with permission)
• Comprehensive diagnostic report with strengths and recommended supports
• Feedback meeting to explain results and next steps

All assessments follow best-practice guidelines and are neuroaffirming, and culturally responsive.

Who This Service Helps

• Children or teens with attention, focus and regulation challenges
• Young people showing impulsivity, restlessness, or executive function difficulties
• Adults seeking an ADHD diagnosis or clearer self-understanding
• Schools needing guidance on supports and accommodations

Cost

ADHD assessments cost $1500 and include a thorough evaluation, written report, and feedback session.
