ADHD presents differently in everyone. These experiences are commonly reported.
ADHD presents differently from person to person.
Having some of these traits doesn’t mean you have ADHD. A full assessment considers your wider developmental, clinical and functional history.
Our ADHD assessment follows a structured clinical approach informed by relevant professional guidance. We consider each person’s developmental history, current experiences and individual circumstances to build a comprehensive understanding of their needs.
Screening questionnaires help gather preliminary information about your current and past experiences of attention, impulsivity and activity levels. They provide an initial overview of possible ADHD-related characteristics and help identify areas that may need further exploration during your clinical assessment.
A detailed clinical interview explores your experiences throughout different stages of life and how they may affect your everyday functioning.
Where clinically appropriate, a structured assessment tool such as DIVA-5 (Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults) may be used to support the clinical evaluation. This helps explore ADHD-related symptoms in childhood and adulthood, considering their presence, history and impact on everyday functioning.
Structured assessment tools form part of the wider clinical evaluation and are not used in isolation to determine a diagnosis.
The information gathered throughout the assessment is reviewed alongside the relevant clinical criteria and supporting evidence. Where multidisciplinary review forms part of the pathway, relevant clinical perspectives are considered to support a thorough evaluation before the assessment conclusion is reached.
You will have an opportunity to discuss the assessment outcome with your clinician, understand the findings and ask any questions you may have. The session will also cover relevant recommendations, potential support options and appropriate next steps based on your individual circumstances.
You will receive a written assessment report outlining the clinical information considered, assessment findings and outcome. Where appropriate, the report will also include personalised recommendations and guidance regarding potential support, reasonable adjustments and further steps.
