Private ADHD Assessments for Children & Teenagers

Child ADHD Assessments

It can be difficult to know if your child has ADHD or not. As parents, we know that children can find it hard to pay attention, they can be hyperactive and impulsive. What we do is, consider whether your child meets criteria for ADHD and suggest recommendations for them, even if they don’t. All initial assessments are conducted in person at our Central London Clinic and completed online.

Common signs of ADHD:

Difficulties waiting, taking turns or waiting in queues.

Running out into the road without checking first.

Fidgeting frequently.

Talking excessively in formal settings.

Rushing tasks, leading to accidents or silly errors.

What happens in this assessment?

Step 1

Pre-assessment information is gathered.
Information is gathered about the child’s current circumstances and difficulties. Information is also sent to the child’s school for their teacher to fill in.

Step 2

A clinical interview based on the ADHD Child Evaluation (ACE).
A clinical interview takes place. This covers the child’s early history and asks about ADHD symptoms. This is completed with a parent/caregiver and the child. This takes 2 hours to complete and can be completed online.

Step 3

Further assessment is considered.
The clinician considers the evidence. If a further ADHD test, called a QB test is required, this will be arranged.

Step 4

Feedback session including recommendations.
This feedback meeting discusses whether the child now has a diagnosis and what recommendations we are giving to help the child. This is completed online.

Step 5

Reporting.
A report is delivered
