child adhd assessment.
positive, neuro-affirming nice guidance assessment.
what?
An in-depth, strengths-based assessment designed to help you understand how your child’s brain works; especially around attention, regulation, focus, organisation, and energy. We explore how these characteristics show up across different settings and stages of development, with a compassionate lens that sees beyond behaviour.
​
All of our clinicians are neurodivergent; brining years of professional and lived experience.
​
how?
Completed in line with NICE guidelines, our process is collaborative, thorough, and affirming. All clinicians involved are neurodivergent, bringing lived experience and deep understanding to the work.
The assessment includes:
-
Pre-assessment questionnaires for home, school, and (where appropriate) the young person themselves
-
A child observation session tailored to their communication and comfort style
-
A parental developmental interview to explore early milestones and context using validated tools such as the DIVA Young 5 and structured observations
-
A multi-disciplinary meeting to review findings and ensure a well-rounded understanding
-
A feedback session to walk through the results together
-
A full written report with clear findings, tailored recommendations, and signposting to further support
We look beyond surface behaviours to understand what’s driving them, using a holistic and neuroaffirming approach.
