ADHD Assessment for Children in Hyderabad
TheraPeace provides psychological assessment for attention, hyperactivity and impulse-control concerns at our centre in Habsiguda, Hyderabad. Not every restless child has ADHD, and not every quiet child is fine; inattentive-type ADHD hides in plain sight. Assessment exists to separate ADHD from the things that imitate it: anxiety, learning difficulties, sleep problems, or a classroom mismatch.
Signs worth assessing
Cannot hold attention on tasks, even ones the child wants to finish
Constant movement, fidgeting, leaving the seat in class
Acting before thinking: interrupting, grabbing, no sense of danger
Losing belongings and forgetting instructions daily
Schoolwork far below what the child clearly understands verbally
Repeated complaints from school despite genuine effort at home
What our assessment involves
Structured interviews with parents, standardised rating scales from both home and school, direct observation, and testing of attention and related skills. We also screen for the common co-travellers: learning difficulties and emotional concerns.
​
Questions of medical diagnosis and medication belong with a psychiatrist or developmental paediatrician. If the assessment points that way, we refer you and share our findings so you do not start from zero. We then handle the part medication does not cover: skills, behaviour and school strategy.
What support looks like
Behaviour strategies built with parents, attention and self-regulation work with the child, and concrete recommendations your child's school can actually implement. Written goals, scheduled reviews.

Common questions
Is my child too young for an ADHD assessment?
Attention concerns can be assessed in early childhood, though conclusions are made more carefully at younger ages. What matters is the pattern across settings, home and school both, not one bad week.
Does an assessment mean my child will be put on medication?
No. Assessment describes what is going on. Medication is a separate medical decision made by a doctor, only if relevant, and only with your consent.
Could it be something other than ADHD?
Often, yes. Anxiety, learning difficulties, hearing issues and poor sleep all imitate ADHD. That is the reason for assessing rather than assuming.
