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

Please note: that if the Specialist Clinician considers your case to be complex during the assessment, they may need additional information or seek advice from the Consultant Psychiatrist. This could potentially delay your report beyond the standard 7 working days.

I cannot recommend this Neuroaffinity enough! My 7-year-old nephew is autistic and has mild ADHD, and this clinic has been a blessing for him and his young parents family. From the very first visit, the staff was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took time to understand his unique needs and created a personalised plan that helped with communication, sensory regulation, social skills, focus, and emotional regulation helping him to build the skills he needed. The therapists were amazing with him, and they also gave our family practical strategies to use at home. we’ve seen major improvements in his ability to communicate, handle transitions, calm down, and connect with others. He’s happier, more confident, and making progress we are so grateful for. Thank you to all the staff for everything! Highly recommend Neuroaffinity to any parent or caregiver.

Shehzad has been incredibly helpful throughout my ADHD journey. He was friendly, professional, and always took the time to listen and answer any questions I had. His support has made a real difference, and I felt understood and comfortable from the start. I would highly recommend Shehzad to anyone looking for ADHD support and assessment.

Amman Ayub

I was really happy with the professionalism shown by Neuroaffinity, specifically Shehzad. As parents we are always nervous and apprehensive but Shehzad put us at ease and took his time to answer all our questions, and dealt with our child remarkably well. Thank you!

Woody Salt

I recently got my ADHD diagnosis and just at the end of my titration now. The team at Neuroaffinity has been fantastic, I was in somewhat of a rush as I had my a levels on this year and so I needed to have the diagnosis and initial titration appointment as soon as possible. They were great in facilitating this and beyond that in every area. Would certainly recommend their services!

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.
