COULD IT BE ADHD?

ADHD can look different for every child.

ADHD isn't always easy to recognise. Some children may appear constantly active or impulsive, while others may be quieter and struggle more with attention, organisation or becoming overwhelmed. Difficulties can also become more noticeable as the demands of school, home and everyday life increase.
01

Attention

Difficulty sustaining attention, following through with tasks or instructions, or appearing to miss information.

02

Organisation

Difficulty managing belongings, remembering instructions, following routines or keeping track of what needs to happen next.

03

Activity & restlessness

A need to move or fidget, difficulty remaining still when expected, or an internal sense of restlessness.

04

Impulsivity

Interrupting, acting or speaking quickly, or finding it difficult to wait and think before responding.

05

Emotional regulation

Becoming frustrated or overwhelmed quickly, or experiencing emotional reactions that can be difficult to regulate.

06

Everyday functioning

Difficulties that may affect learning, home life, friendships, activities or other areas of everyday functioning.

Experiencing some of these difficulties does not mean a child or young person has ADHD. A diagnostic assessment considers the pattern of symptoms over time, their impact on everyday functioning, developmental history, information from relevant settings and whether another explanation may better account for the difficulties experienced.

BUILDING THE WHOLE PICTURE

Understanding them across different parts of their life.

A comprehensive ADHD assessment looks beyond what happens in one place or at one point in time. We explore the child or young person's development, their experiences at home and in education, and relevant supporting information to understand the pattern of difficulties and how these affect everyday functioning.

01

Development & childhood

Exploring developmental history and how difficulties have presented over time.

02

Home & family life

Understanding what parents or carers observe and how difficulties affect everyday life at home.

03

Education & other settings

Considering information about how the child or young person functions in another relevant setting, such as school or college.

04

The clinical picture

Bringing experiences and supporting information together to consider whether the pattern is consistent with ADHD and whether another explanation may better account for the difficulties.

Looking across development, home, education and other relevant settings helps build a fuller picture of the child or young person's experiences.

YOUR ASSESSMENT JOURNEY

A clear pathway, centred around your child.

From the first clinical conversation through to the assessment outcome, each stage helps build a comprehensive understanding of your child or young person.

  4. Clinical evaluation

    The assessment and supporting evidence are considered together against recognised diagnostic criteria, including whether another explanation needs to be considered.

    The assessment outcome is explained and documented in a comprehensive clinical report.
