 ADHD Testing and Assessment in Calgary

ShiftGrit Psychology & Counselling provides specialized ADHD Assessments Calgary services for children and adults. We are committed to offering evidence-based solutions for ADHD, learning difficulties, and related challenges, helping our clients unlock their potential.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, focus, and impulse control. For children, this might look like difficulty sitting still, managing emotions, or staying organized. Adults may notice struggles with productivity, concentration, or maintaining structure in daily life. If these challenges sound familiar, an assessment can offer valuable insights and guidance.

Our process is tailored to each individual, combining tools such as computer-based assessments, written exercises, and one-on-one evaluations. We also consider co-existing conditions, such as learning disabilities or mood concerns, to provide a clear and holistic understanding of your needs.

At ShiftGrit, our dedicated team has years of experience helping individuals manage ADHD and its challenges. We create a supportive environment where clients can develop strategies to enhance focus, organization, and overall well-being.

Understanding ADHD and How Assessments Help

ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common but often misunderstood condition that affects people of all ages. While it’s frequently associated with children, many adults also struggle with ADHD. It impacts brain functions that regulate attention, activity levels, and impulse control. These challenges can make tasks like staying organized, maintaining focus, or completing work on time feel overwhelming.

In children, ADHD may show up as difficulty sitting still, frequent interruptions, or trouble following through on instructions. For adults, symptoms often include forgetfulness, disorganization, and struggles with time management. These issues can affect academic or professional performance, relationships, and overall quality of life.

ADHD assessments are an essential first step toward understanding and managing these challenges. At ShiftGrit Psychology & Counselling, our assessments go beyond surface-level symptoms to provide a detailed picture of how ADHD impacts you or your child’s daily life. We use a variety of evidence-based methods, including interviews, questionnaires, and cognitive tests, to identify key areas of difficulty.

In addition to diagnosing ADHD, our evaluations also consider other factors that may influence behaviour, such as learning disabilities, anxiety, or depression. This comprehensive approach ensures that we can recommend personalized strategies and supports tailored to each individual’s needs.

Our goal at ShiftGrit is to empower our clients with practical tools and a better understanding of their unique strengths. Whether it’s building better organizational skills, improving focus, or managing emotional regulation, we provide actionable solutions that can make a real difference. With the right support and guidance, living with ADHD becomes more manageable, and new possibilities for success and fulfillment emerge.
