Can a neuropsychological assessment help to diagnose ADHD?
Yes. With the combination of different assessment tools, such as a clinical interview, specific cognitive and neuropsychological tests, various subjective rater scales/inventories, and observations made by the examiner, diagnosis for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can be made. It is important to recognize that there are a number of factors that can interfere with attention and focus, so getting a clear diagnosis is important in order to determine the most appropriate treatment focus.
