ADHD Assessment for Child

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.

What’s Included in a Child ADHD Assessment?

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.
