Portfolios

• Clinique FOCUS Portfolios for ADHD Assessment
  Details
  • The Clinique FOCUS team has selected a number of questionnaires from among the tools proposed by experts, along with handouts created specifically for our clients, which allowed us to put together various portfolios to facilitate the assessment process for probable ADHD.
  • We decided to make them available online so that the people coming to our clinic can copy them and so that our Anglophone clinical colleagues wishing to use them can do the same.
  • The questionnaires used alone do NOT help establish a diagnosis; however, they make it easier to gather information and to guide the process for identifying the problems and possible actions to take.
  • In some cases, the doctor will also ask for an assessment from a psychologist, neuropsychologist or speech therapist. This is particularly important if there is any indication of a learning disability, a psychological condition or a language disorder.
  • It is essential for the assessment process to be performed by a clinician with a thorough knowledge of ADHD because several other problems can mimic or be associated with ADHD.
  • The choice and development of these tools are constantly evolving.
