Does This Sound Familiar?
Tick the ones you recognize. Three or more, showing up everywhere, at home, at school, at work, and present for months: that pattern is worth assessing.
Homework that should take 40 minutes takes three hours and ends in tears.
Instructions go in one ear and out the other, even when he is looking right at you.
She starts everything and finishes nothing: projects, chores, conversations.
Constant motion: fidgeting, climbing, leaving the seat, talking over everyone.
At work, deadlines slip, emails sit half written, and simple tasks feel like walls.
Keys, wallet, homework diary, phone: always lost, always last minute.
ADHD Looks Different at Different Ages
Adult ADHD is real and very often missed, because adults learn to hide the struggle. Many parents quietly recognize themselves during their own child’s assessment.
In Children
Cannot sit through a class, blurts out answers, loses school supplies
Homework battles and careless mistakes, despite clearly knowing the work
Meltdowns when asked to switch activities
Teachers say bright, but does not apply himself
Social connection
Restlessness that reads as impatience, interrupting in meetings
Missed deadlines, unfinished projects, bills and paperwork in chaos
Cannot start boring tasks, then hyperfocus until 2 a.m. on interesting ones
A lifetime of being called lazy, careless, or too much
MYTH
ADHD is just laziness or weak discipline, and the child will grow out of it.
FACT
ADHD is a recognized neurodevelopmental condition involving attention regulation and impulse control. Effort is not the missing ingredient; the right support is. Without assessment, children get punished for symptoms, and adults get a lifetime of self blame.
What Is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a structured evaluation, not a five minute checklist. It combines a detailed clinical interview, standardized rating scales completed by parents and teachers for children, or by the adult and someone who knows them well, attention related tasks and observation, and a careful history that traces the pattern back to childhood.
The goal is a considered clinical conclusion: which presentation of ADHD fits, inattentive, hyperactive impulsive, or combined, and how strongly, or whether something else explains the picture better.
ADHD or Something Else?
Half the value of a proper assessment is what it rules out. Poor sleep, anxiety, low mood, hearing problems, and learning disabilities can all look like ADHD in a classroom.
And attention difficulties often travel together with autism spectrum traits, which is why our autism assessment in Islamabad can be combined with ADHD testing in one process when both questions are on the table.
A label that is accurate is useful. A label that is quick is dangerous.
How the Assessment Works at PRTS Clinic
Initial consultation
Your story first: history, daily routines, school or work reality, and what you want answered.
Rating scales
Standardized ADHD scales from parents and teachers for a child, or self and informant reports for an adult, so the picture comes from real life, not one room.
Testing and observation
Attention related tasks and structured observation, at a pace suited to the child or adult.
Analysis
Results scored against standardized norms, alternatives considered and ruled out, presentations weighed.
Report and feedback
A formal written report plus a sit down feedback session: the conclusion in plain language, practical recommendations for school, work, and home, and a therapy plan. Where a medical opinion about medication would help, we refer and coordinate.
What You Walk Away With
Every completed assessment ends with things you can actually use, in hand, the same day as your feedback session:
A written clinical report stating the conclusion and exactly how it was reached.
The specific presentation identified: inattentive, hyperactive impulsive, or combined.
School and workplace recommendations written so you can hand them over as they are.
A home routine plan matched to the actual difficulty, not generic advice from the internet.
A clear next step: a therapy pathway at PRTS Clinic, and a medical referral where relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can adults be assessed for ADHD?
Yes. Adult ADHD is real and frequently missed. The assessment traces your attention pattern back to childhood, because ADHD does not appear suddenly at thirty. The written report can also support conversations about study or workplace adjustments.
What is the difference between inattentive and hyperactive ADHD?
Inattentive presentation shows up as drifting focus, careless mistakes, and losing things. Hyperactive impulsive presentation shows up as restlessness, interrupting, and acting before thinking. Many people have the combined presentation. The assessment identifies which pattern fits, because the support for each is different.
Will my child's school be involved?
With your permission, yes. Teacher rating scales show how your child functions in the classroom, which makes the assessment far more accurate. It is helpful but not mandatory, and nothing is shared with the school without your consent.
Does an ADHD diagnosis mean my child will be put on medication?
No. Assessment at PRTS Clinic is conducted by clinical psychologists, and the recommendations focus on therapy, school strategies, and home routines. If a medical opinion about medication would help, we refer you to the appropriate doctor and coordinate, but that decision always stays with you and a medical professional.
How much does an ADHD assessment cost in Islamabad?
The initial consultation is Rs. 6,500 per session. The total assessment cost depends on the rating scales and sessions required, and the complete package cost is confirmed with you before testing begins.
How long does the assessment take?
Typically an initial consultation, rating scales completed by parents and teachers or by the adult and someone who knows them well, one or more testing sessions, and a feedback session. The exact schedule is shared after the first visit.
