Should I Get My Child Tested For ADHD

Welcome to the ADHD Screening Quiz for Parents

Wondering if your child's behavior might be linked to ADHD? You're in the right place. This quiz is designed to help you gain insights into whether your child may benefit from a professional evaluation for ADHD.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that this quiz is not a diagnostic tool. Instead, it’s a guide to help you understand if certain behaviors your child exhibits align with those commonly associated with ADHD. If the results suggest further action, you’ll be better equipped to decide on the next steps, such as consulting with a professional who can provide a comprehensive assessment and recommend appropriate support or interventions.

While this quiz is tailored for individual use, it’s always helpful to consider input from others who interact with your child regularly, such as teachers or caregivers. Their observations can offer additional perspectives and help you make a more informed decision.

Take a few minutes to go through the questions and see if the patterns described resonate with your child’s behavior. At the end, you’ll receive guidance based on your responses, helping you take the next steps with confidence.
