Adhd test child
Does your child have ADHD-related symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, planning and organising, impulsivity and restlessness? Here you can take a short online test to see if these are symptoms of ADHD.
This test is inspired by the DSM-5 criteria and can give a first indication of whether your child (aged 6-18) has features of ADHD. The test is not a substitute for a professional diagnosis, but can provide guidance for a possible assessment. The first step is to see a psychologist for an initial assessment interview.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that affects concentration, impulse control and activity levels. Children and adolescents with ADHD may have difficulty focusing, organising tasks and controlling impulses. This can affect their daily lives in different ways, but with the right support and strategies, children and young people can find ways to manage their difficulties and capitalise on their strengths.
What should I do if my child has symptoms of ADHD
If your child has symptoms of ADHD, it may be useful to proceed with an initial assessment with a psychologist. This can be followed by a neuropsychiatric assessment to confirm the diagnosis if necessary. The assessment is carried out by a doctor and psychologist who together evaluate the symptoms of ADHD, you can read more about ADHD assessment for children here.
