Children ADHD Assessment
- Pre-assessment screening
- 90-120 minutes assessment with an ADHD Specialist Clinician
- ADHD report sent to you within 10 working days after you’ve completed your assessment*
- Diagnosis
- Treatment Plan
- Support letter (Which can be given to employers/ schools/ educational institutes)
*If the Specialist Clinician deems your case complex during the assessment, they may require additional information (e.g., from your GP with your permission) or seek advice from the Consultant Psychiatrist, potentially delaying your Outcome Report beyond the standard 10 working days.
STEP 1
Book in for an Assessment
You can book the ADHD assessment by clicking here
To ensure the right ADHD treatment for you, a diagnosis is necessary.
STEP 2
Fill in Your Simple Self-Assessment Questionnaire
In the case of the child, the questionnaire will be filled in by a parent/guardian and a second questionnaire should be filled out by someone who knows the child but is not a family member or friend (for example, a teacher, sports coach, tutor, etc.).
The purpose of the questionnaire is to allow your personal clinician to better understand your child’s symptoms and needs. This in turn will lead to a more accurate ADHD diagnosis and treatment.
The questionnaires come as a link emailed to you. All you need to do is press the link, complete the multiple choice questions and press submit! It is as easy as that.
STEP 3
The ADHD Assessment
During this 90-120 minutes online video ADHD assessment, your child will be accompanied by their parent/guardian.
This session takes the form of a relaxed and informal interview, where your Specialist Clinician will explore your child’s symptoms.
Your child will not be made to feel pressured during the assessment. If they encounter any challenges in answering questions, it is perfectly normal and will not impact the assessment process.
In addition to the assessment, the Clinician will provide counselling on the various treatment options available to manage ADHD in children.
STEP 4
Receive Your Child’s Report
Within 10 working days of your ADHD assessment, you will receive your report by email.
The report will detail :
• Diagnosis outcome – this will tell you clearly if you have been diagnosed with ADHD and what type of ADHD it is (there are different types of ADHD).
• An explanation of the diagnosis findings
• Proposed treatment plan and options
• Information Pack on how to move forward with your treatment plan
STEP 5

If the treatment involves medication, your clinician will issue a prescription and send it to our partner pharmacy, who will deliver it straight to your door.

What Happen After ADHD Diagnosis?
If your child receives a positive diagnosis of ADHD and you (parent/guardian) decide to start medication as part of your child’s treatment plan, we can provide both the prescriptions and arrange for the medication to be delivered directly to your home.
Starting ADHD Medication
Medication must be initiated according to NICE (national Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines.
As part of these guidelines, your child’s dose will be increased until a point where their symptoms are optimally and safely controlled.
This will require a number of ‘Medication Follow up’ appointments, during which the ADHD Clinician will review their medication dosing and make appropriate changes to their prescription.
Optimising ADHD Medication
To optimise the dose of medication, follow-up appointment occur once every 2 weeks. For most individuals, it takes 4-6 medication follow up appointments (meaning 8-12 weeks) until the optimal dose of medication is achieved.
Medication Review Appoinment: £325
(Prices per Appoinment)
