Private ADHD assessment for children

Private ADHD assessments for children, helping families gain clear answers, expert guidance and the right support for their child’s future.

Private ADHD assessment for children in the UK

At Neuroaffinity, we offer fast and extensive private ADHD assessments for children across the UK.

If you’re concerned your child may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), our expert clinicians can provide clarity, guidance, and support every step of the way.

Why choose a private ADHD assessment for your child?

The NHS pathway for child ADHD assessments is often lengthy, with waiting times that can stretch from several months to even years. Choosing a private ADHD assessment for your child offers a much faster route to diagnosis, allowing you to access early support, personalised interventions, and the guidance needed to help your child thrive.

Initial screening

You’ll complete standardised parent and teacher questionnaires and review of your child’s developmental background and medical history. An assessment fee is charged only if you pass this initial screening.

Additional background information

Additional details may be gathered from family members or partners to gain a complete understanding of your symptoms.

Clinical interview

A specialist ADHD clinician will conduct a thorough assessment face to face or via video conference, lasting between 90 to 120 minutes. This will cover symptom onset, impact, developmental history, educational background, family history, and other relevant factors.

Psychological testing

Psychological testing may be recommended to assess cognitive functioning, attention, and related factors. This might include a QB check, which incurs additional fees.

Diagnostic decision

Based on the gathered information, a diagnostic decision will be made according to the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). This will be done at separate feedback appointment.

Receive your report

Within 7 working days of your ADHD feedback appointment, you will receive a written report by email. This report will include the clinical diagnosis and, if applicable, a proposed treatment plan.

Child private ADHD assessment fees

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my child needs an ADHD assessment?

If your child frequently struggles with attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or has difficulty with focus and behaviour at home or school, it may be worth exploring an ADHD assessment. Common signs include trouble following instructions, restlessness, emotional outbursts, and academic challenges.

What is the age range for a child's ADHD assessment?

We assess children typically from age 7 and up, as this is when consistent behavioural patterns become clearer and school-related concerns often emerge. If you’re unsure whether your child is the right age for assessment, our team can advise you during an initial consultation.

Is the assessment done in person or online?

We offer both online and face-to-face ADHD assessments for children. Online assessments are conducted securely via video consultation and follow the same rigorous clinical standards as in-person appointments, offering flexibility and convenience for families.

What happens after the assessment?

Following the assessment, you’ll receive a feedback call with the results. If a diagnosis of ADHD is made, we provide a full written report along with recommendations for support. You’ll also have the option to schedule follow-up appointments, including medication reviews if appropriate.

How long does the child ADHD assessment process take?

The full process typically takes 2-4 weeks from booking to receiving your child’s diagnostic report. The assessment itself involves one comprehensive appointment, followed by a feedback call. This ensures you get timely answers and support without long NHS waiting times.

Will the ADHD diagnosis be recognised by schools and healthcare providers?

Yes, all our assessments are conducted by qualified clinicians following NICE guidelines. The written diagnostic report you receive can be used to support school-based interventions, educational support plans (such as EHCPs), and medical treatment decisions with your GP or paediatrician.
