New ADHD patients should receive two teacher informants and one parent informant to take home and bring back once they are completed.
All patients ages 11 and older will receive a PHQ-9 at every well check.
The PHQ-9 is a short questionnaire that helps us understand how your child is feeling emotionally. It asks about mood, energy, sleep, and interest in
activities—things that can change when someone feels down or overwhelmed.
This is not a diagnosis; instead, it’s a tool to help start a conversation and see if extra support could be helpful. Many kids and teens go through tough times, and the PHQ-9 helps us catch concerns early so we can work together to help them feel better.
It’s normal for young people to feel sad sometimes. The PHQ-9 simply helps us figure out if those feelings are temporary or if more support may be needed. It ensures nothing is overlooked.
The SCARED screening is a short set of questions that checks in on your child’s emotional health. It looks at things like:
Levels of fear or worry
Social situations that may cause nervousness
How they respond to changes
This tool helps us identify anxiety early so we can provide the right support and resources for your child.
If we notice signs of anxiety, we’ll work together on next steps. This could include counseling, therapy, or simple strategies to help manage stress.
The ASQ is a simple parent checklist that helps us see how your child is growing in areas like communication, motor skills, and social interaction. It’s not a test — just a way to highlight strengths and check if any extra support may be helpful.
