ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

​

What does an ADHD assessment involve?

 

At Cross Psychology, our assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding yours or your child’s strengths, challenges, and support needs. The process follows a structured pathway while ensuring that every assessment remains tailored to you.

 

Step 1: Initial consultation

The process begins with a free discovery call. This provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions about the assessment process, and decide whether an ADHD assessment is the most appropriate option for you or your child.

 

Step 2: Initial screening

Before a full assessment takes place, screening questionnaires are completed to gather information about your current experiences and developmental history. If ADHD traits are identified, an ADHD assessment pathway will be recommended.

 

Step 3: Comprehensive clinical assessment - Following NICE Guidelines

The assessment itself takes place over two appointments.  An on-line video appointment and a face-to-face appointment at one of our welcoming clinics in The Midlands and is conducted by experienced and appropriately qualified members of our multidisciplinary team.

 

Depending on your age and needs, the assessment may include:

• Clinical interviews

• Developmental history gathering

• Standardised ADHD assessment tools (Inc. the QB Check and ACE)

• Behavioural observation where identified to be necessary

• Information from parents, family members, schools, or other relevant professionals
