CADDRA Child Assessment Instructions: Forms
CADDRA Child Assessment Instructions: Forms
This information must be reviewed by a trained medical professional as part of an overall ADHD assessment.
ADHD is not identified just through questionnaires. Diagnosing ADHD is not a matter of simply recognizing certain
symptoms; a thorough medical evaluation is necessary to rule out other possible causes for your child's symptoms.
Your input is very important but don't worry about answering the questions incorrectly or be concerned that you might
'label' your child. There are no right or wrong answers. You will be asked questions about how your child functions in a
variety of different situations. If you are unsure of an answer, provide an answer which best describes your child a good
deal of the time in that particular situation. Individual questions are less important than the scale as a whole, and this
can only be properly evaluated by a trained professional.
If the child is living in two households, each household should complete these forms separately. It is important that
parents take the time to thoughtfully complete all the required questionnaires. This information on how your child
functions in different settings is essential. Therefore, it is also important that your child's teacher provides feedback.
Please give the teacher the indicated forms and the teacher instruction handout.
Additional testing may be recommended by your health professional. This is particularly important if a learning disorder,
speech disorder, or any other health condition is suspected.
If you were not given copies of the forms, instructions and handouts that you need, they can all be printed from the
CADDRA website (www.caddra.ca).
Forms
Note: Please fill in the forms required by your health professional and indicated below. You may be asked to fill in forms
in two different colours to demonstrate the differences in your child when on and off medication.
Resources
Please read the information on ADHD as indicated by your health professional. The CADDRA ADHD Information and
Resources handout can be printed from the CADDRA website (www.caddra.ca).
