ASD and ADHD Assessments

I offer the following assessments online or face to face:

ADHD

An ADHD assessment involves an interview with the client and a caregiver from infancy, preferably a parent. If a parent is not available another family member who has good knowledge of the client from childhood is acceptable.

Before the assessment meeting, you will be sent some questionnaires for you and a close family member or partner to complete and return to us. The assessment is carried out with your chosen relative and last 2-3 hours. If your relative cannot attend with you, we could organise another time to speak face to face, via telephone or online.

The cost of an ADHD assessment with a comprehensive report and a follow-up session to discuss your report is: £1100

Please note: If you are diagnosed with ADHD and would like to try medication to help manage your symptoms, it is necessary to have a consultation with a psychiatrist with expertise in ADHD. You will not require another assessment, but your psychiatrist and GP will create a ‘shared care agreement’ to prescribe and monitor your ADHD medication so that you can have an NHS prescription.

Also, it is wise to enquire with your NHS GP if a private diagnosis of ADHD will be recognised and treated by your practice, as not all practices do.

ASD

An ASD assessment involves an interview (with additional tasks/activities) with the client and a separate interview with a caregiver from infancy, preferably a parent. If a parent is not available another family member who has good knowledge of you from early childhood is acceptable.

Before the assessment meeting, you will be sent some questionnaires for you and a relative or partner to complete and return to us. The client assessment last approximately 2 hours and the developmental assessment with your relative lasts 2-3 hours.

We can offer online client assessments under extenuating circumstances, as it is preferable to carry out these assessments face-to-face. If your relative cannot attend a face-to-face interview, we can offer online and telephone assessment interviews.

The cost of an ASD assessment with a comprehensive report and a follow up session to hand over your report is: £1500
