ADHD Assessment process

1st Stage of Assessment

Initial assessment session (90/120 minutes)

This stage can be done online, however we recommend it to be face-to-face on a date, time and location to be agreed with the client.

This session is essential to gather relevant information about the young person background and personal history, early developmental, symptoms and signs, specific behaviours noticed and reasons for the assessment. As possible this session should be held with young person and one or both parents.
Specific screening questionnaires will be provided to gather clinic evidence to complement the assessment depending of the age:

VANDERBILT - Considered for children
SNAP-IV-26 - Considered for adolescents
Complement questionnaire about difficulties and challenging behaviour noticed
Questionnaire to gather relevant information from school
Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) - Considered for Adults
Childhood Behaviour Scale-self-report - Considered for Adults

Cost of this session:
£200.00 (without report) or £250.00 (with report)

The CONNERS - Considered for children and adolescents

Time for administration:
30 minutes (child/young person’s form is filled jointly with me, to help clarify any doubt about the questions).

We will agree with parents the best way to contact the Teacher and to provide her the Teacher’s form and to collect it after being filled.

DIVA 2.0 - Diagnostic interview for ADHD in adults

Time for administration: Between 2 and 3 hours. The individual will complete this with a Clinical Psychologist.

Feedback session:
A 30 minutes session will be arranged to discuss outcome of the assessment and clarify the interpretation of the report, advice parents about what could be next steps to take and the need to liaise with other professionals as appropriate.

Every assessment is discussed with a consultant before the feedback is given to the client.

Report:
It can take up to one week to score, interpret and write the report, which once completed, will be sent to parents via email for their reading and will be jointly reviewed on the feedback session.

Cost of the DIVA: £800


3rd Stage of Assessment

Follow-up after assessment

This includes a follow-up call or online session up to 30 minutes, which will take place 1 month after the assessment was completed.
This has the purpose of providing advise and counseling to each case.
