What is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a structured process used to explore attention difficulties, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviours. It includes:
-
Screening questionnaires
-
A review of developmental and daily life challenges
-
Input from family, teachers, or partners (where appropriate)
-
A detailed clinical interview and diagnostic scoring
-
A final written report with diagnostic reasoning
All assessments follow DSM-5 criteria and are conducted online. This allows adults, teenagers, and children in Swindon to access professional evaluations in a setting that suits their lifestyle, ensuring flexibility and convenience without compromising quality.
