ADHD Assessment for Adults & Children

The ADHD assessment process, step by step

Every assessment is personalised. The process below is our standard route, and we adapt each step to your circumstances.

1. 1

   Initial Screening

   As part of the assessment, you are required to complete a range of rating scales and questionnaires to explore ADHD symptoms and how these affect everyday functioning. For children, additional information is obtained from parents or caregivers, together with relevant school reports, to help build a comprehensive picture of their presentation and needs.

2. 2

   Additional Background Information

   Where appropriate, we may ask someone who knows you well, such as a family member, partner or teacher, to provide additional information about your symptoms and how they affect you. This helps us understand your experiences in context and provides a more complete picture of your day-to-day functioning.

3. 3

   Psychological Testing

   In some cases psychological testing is recommended to assess cognitive functioning and attention, this may include a QB check (additional fees apply).

4. 4

   Treatment Planning

   If ADHD is diagnosed, we discuss suitable options, coaching, lifestyle strategies and, where appropriate, clinical treatment, with regular follow-ups.

5. 5

   Shared Care

   Once you have reached a stable clinical treatment regimen, we will request a shared care arrangement with your GP. This allows your ongoing ADHD treatment and clinical treatment monitoring to be coordinated with your GP. Shared care is subject to your GP's agreement and discretion.

Please note: the specific assessment process may vary depending on individual circumstances.
