A pediatrician can evaluate a child for ADHD and may provide a diagnosis when appropriate. The assessment considers behaviour, symptoms, development, school performance, and feedback from parents or teachers.
How is ADHD assessed?
1. Reviews symptoms
The doctor looks for ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity.
2. Looks at different settings
Parents, teachers, and school information can help determine whether symptoms occur in more than one environment.
3. Rules out other concerns
Sleep problems, anxiety, learning difficulties, and developmental conditions can sometimes cause similar symptoms.
4. Plans the next step
The pediatrician may diagnose ADHD, recommend further assessment, or refer the child to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other specialist when needed.
