Private ADHD Assessments

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental difference which is often first recognised in childhood but can be lifelong. It often involves differences in attention, focus and/or hyperactivity. Our comprehensive assessment of ADHD adheres to the gold standard in ADHD assessment and follows strict, recognised diagnostic guidelines.
