What to take to an ADHD assessment, and what an observation record is for.
Clinicians look for evidence that difficulties show up in more than one setting and over time. Useful things to bring: examples of specific behaviours and when they happen, school reports or a teacher's view, a note of sleep and daily routines, and any relevant health history. Striova pulls this together into an appointment-ready report.
Structured questionnaires completed by a parent and a teacher — covering attention, activity and impulsivity across home and school — are a common part of assessment. Having a recent, consistent record from both settings gives the clinician stronger evidence than memory alone. Striova's monthly observation record is built for this, with a no-login form for your child's teacher.
