Testing for ADHD can be a complex and involved process, as there is no single test that can definitively diagnose the condition. Instead, a comprehensive evaluation typically includes multiple sources of information, including:

· A thorough clinical interview

· A review of developmental, medical, and educational history

· Observations of the person in various settings

· ADHD-specific rating scales or checklists

· Psychological testing to rule out other conditions that may be causing ADHD symptoms or to assess academic skills, intelligence, and social-emotional functioning

· A review of any available records, such as school reports or progress notes from previous evaluations

The ADHD evaluation should be conducted by a qualified mental health professional with experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD, such as a physician, psychiatrist, pediatrician, or clinical psychologist. The professional should take into account all of the available information to make an accurate diagnosis.
