Why book an Online Child ADHD Assessment?

Parents come to us for an online assessment when they:

  • Want a clear, formal ADHD diagnosis (or to rule ADHD out) for their child or teenager
  • Prefer the convenience of attending appointments from home
  • Need appointments that fit around school and work commitments, including Saturday clinics
  • Feel that previous support has not fully explained their child’s attention, impulsivity or emotional regulation difficulties

  • Agree evidence-based treatment options that feel realistic for your family
  • Have more confident conversations with school, your GP and other professionals

Why Choose ADHD Health Clinic for Your Child ADHD Assessment?

ADHD can present differently across childhood and adolescence. Our pathway is purpose-built for ages 6–17 and combines clinical rigour with a calm, family-centred approach.

A single, integrated assessment is delivered by clinicians specialising in child and adolescent ADHD. Within one structured appointment, we speak with the young person and the parent, and incorporate input from school to form a coherent, multi-informant view. Validated rating scales are used to quantify symptoms and functional impact across settings, supporting fair, reliable decision-making.

After the assessment you will receive a clear diagnostic report for your GP and school, including tailored classroom recommendations, reasonable adjustments and next steps. Appointments are typically available within weeks, helping families access support sooner.

Understanding ADHD Symptoms

Symptoms often manifest differently in individuals and can have a significant impact on various aspects of life.

For More Information

What is a child ADHD assessment?
A child ADHD assessment is a detailed evaluation that looks at whether your child meets the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. It is designed to build a clear understanding of your child’s attention, activity levels, impulsivity and wider support needs across home, school and everyday life.
This assessment is suitable for children where there are concerns about attention difficulties, hyperactivity, impulsivity, emotional regulation or related challenges at home or school. It can also be helpful for families who want clarity after ongoing concerns or long waits for assessment elsewhere.
Assessments are carried out by experienced neurodevelopmental clinicians, including professionals with expertise in child ADHD and wider child development. The assessment process follows recognised diagnostic standards and considers your child’s presentation carefully and thoroughly.
The online assessment is a structured process rather than a single appointment. It may include a developmental and medical history, parent questionnaires, school feedback, direct clinical assessment completed remotely, and a review of any previous reports or relevant background information.
The online child ADHD assessment lasts 90 minutes. This forms part of a wider assessment process that also includes pre-assessment review, information from parents and school, and the preparation of your child’s diagnostic report.
Yes. Parent or carer input is an essential part of the assessment, and school reports are mandatory in accordance with NICE guidance. This helps the clinician understand how your child presents across different settings and supports a careful and evidence-based diagnostic process.
No. A child ADHD assessment is more than a brief screening or checklist. It is designed to gather information from different sources so that any diagnosis, or decision not to diagnose, is careful, robust and evidence-based.
The assessment looks at areas such as concentration, impulsivity, activity levels, organisation, emotional regulation, learning, friendships and developmental history. It may also consider whether other factors, such as autism, anxiety or learning differences, could be relevant.
After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining whether your child meets the criteria for ADHD and, if so, the presentation identified. The report is designed to be clear and practical, helping you understand how ADHD may affect your child’s learning, behaviour and day-to-day life.

Yes. The report can be shared with schools and is written to help teachers, SENCOs and other professionals understand your child’s needs more clearly. It includes practical recommendations that may help support your child in the classroom and across wider school life.

Yes. The report may form an important part of the evidence used for an Education, Health and Care Plan application or review. It explains your child’s needs, the impact on learning and daily functioning, and the kinds of support that may be appropriate.
Yes. The report includes practical recommendations tailored to your child’s needs. These may relate to support at home, in school and in other settings, so families and professionals have clearer guidance on the next steps.
Yes. If ADHD is diagnosed and medication is considered clinically appropriate, medication options can be discussed with a consultant psychiatrist. This includes considering benefits, possible side effects, monitoring and how treatment may fit alongside school and family life.
Shared care may be possible once your child’s medication is stable, but you should always check with your child’s GP before starting treatment if shared care is important to you. There is no national policy on shared care, and decisions are made locally by individual GP practices and healthcare boards. More than half of our shared care agreements are accepted by NHS GPs, as our medication pathway is managed by consultant psychiatrists. Final approval, however, always rests with your child’s GP.
Yes. Follow-up appointments can help parents understand the outcome of the assessment, review next steps, discuss support at school and, where relevant, review medication or treatment plans.
Yes. Online appointments can be a helpful option for families who would prefer to avoid travel or need something that fits more easily around school and family life.
Yes.
Yes. ADHD Health Clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means the clinic is required to meet established standards for safety, quality of care and clinical governance in England.
