ADHD Assessments in Calgary for Children, Teens, and Adults
ADHD Assessments in Calgary at Still Waters Psychology provide structured, comprehensive evaluations for children, teens, and adults seeking clarity about attention and executive functioning concerns.

Unlike brief screenings or informal checklists, our ADHD testing involves clinical interviews, developmental history review, standardized measures, and formal documentation. The purpose is to understand how attention patterns affect functioning across home, school, and workplace environments.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQs
Answers to common questions about the evaluation processes.
How do I know if I need an assessment?
If attention, organization, memory, or impulse control concerns are significantly affecting school, work, relationships, or daily functioning, an assessment may provide structured clarity. An assessment can help determine underlying factors and guide next steps.
As an adult struggling with adult ADHD, adult ADHD testing may also give you insight into some of your medical history, workplace deficiencies and mental health concerns. Adult ADHD and Adult ADHD symptoms are often under diagnosed and we always recommend an assessment as the first step.
What is the difference between screening and a full assessment?
Screening tools identify potential areas of concern, while ADHD Assessments in Calgary involve a comprehensive evaluation. This includes interviews, standardized testing, history review, and formal documentation to support accurate conclusions and recommendations.
Do you assess both children and adults?
Yes. Assessments are available for children, teens, and adults. The evaluation process is tailored to the developmental stage, incorporating age-appropriate tools and gathering relevant information from parents, teachers, or workplace contexts when appropriate.
Many adults are aware of the struggle they have with ADHD symptoms, but may have never completed an adult ADHD assessment and received an ADHD diagnosis. Our aim is to help adults not only understand their adult ADHD testing results, but also grow and overcome the outcome of ADHD and the ADHD impacts that they have experienced in their life.
How long does an ADHD assessment take?
An assessmet will typically include an intake interview, one or more testing sessions, collateral information gathering, and report preparation. Timelines vary based on complexity, scheduling availability, and the scope of questions being explored.
Will the report be accepted by Calgary schools?
Reports are prepared according to professional standards recognized by Calgary schools and post-secondary institutions. Documentation can support educational planning, accommodations, and access to additional academic resources when appropriate.
Can adults receive workplace accommodations?
Yes. We can provide documentation that supports workplace accommodation requests. While approval depends on employer policies, formal assessment results can clarify needs and strengthen communication around reasonable adjustments.
Is ADHD testing covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your individual extended health plan in Alberta. Some policies provide partial reimbursement, while others may not cover assessment services. We recommend confirming details directly with your provider.
Does assessment guarantee a diagnosis?
No. We focus on accurate and objective evaluation rather than predetermined outcomes. The goal is clarity and understanding, whether that results in a diagnosis, identification of other concerns, or reassurance.
Are virtual assessments available?
Certain components, such as intake interviews or feedback sessions, may be completed virtually. However, standardized cognitive and attention testing is typically conducted in person to ensure validity and reliability.
How do I begin the process?
You can schedule a consultation to determine whether or not an evaluation is appropriate for your situation and the best strategies for your mental health. During this initial conversation, we review concerns, explain the process, give you the first step of the process and outline the next steps if you choose to proceed. We love providing tools and helping people with their mental health, your well being is important to us.
