What happens in an ADHD assessment?
You’ll work with an experienced, specialist clinician to fully understand your thoughts, presentation, and experiences. They will gather information from multiple sources, including symptom checklists, behaviour rating scales, and family members or other people who know you well.
Types of ADHD
There are three main subtypes of ADHD. If you receive a diagnosis, we’ll identify which one you have before giving you a practical, evidence-based treatment plan to help you confidently move forward.
Treatments for ADHD
After your assessment, we may suggest further treatment or services, such as techniques to improve organisation and time management. We may also recommend approaches to help you manage tasks and provide strategies to improve impulse control.
Whether you have questions or just want to talk things through, we're happy to help."
