Assessments are multidisciplinary and follow national guidance.
There is no definitive test for ADHD and the clinical assessment is multi-dimensional considering the impact of difficulties across settings.
The Assessment Process
Following on from the initial consultation and observational session of your child, you will be invited for further formal ADHD assessment. Prior to this appointment you will be asked to complete the Conners ADHD assessment, if appropriate your child and their school will also be asked to complete this assessment.
You and your child will be invited to attend an ADHD observational interview which will take approximately 60-90 mins.
The information is considered in line with the current ICD-11 and DSM-V criteria for ADHD and a decision is usually reached regarding diagnosis. If this is your final appointment, you will usually receive the outcome of the assessment. If you have further assessment appointments, you will be given some preliminary feedback. This feedback session usually lasts around 45 minutes to an hour.

Add a QBcheck to your assessment
You may want to consider opting to include the QBcheck to enhance your assessment. In certain cases, your practitioner may advise this assessment if your situation is complex.
