Specialised ADHD Assessments for Children

Children experience ADHD in different ways, and symptoms may appear differently depending on age, environment, and individual development.

Our clinicians conduct careful assessments that explore:

Attention and concentration

Impulsivity and hyperactivity

Learning and school experiences

Emotional regulation

Developmental history

The goal of the assessment is to provide a clear understanding of whether ADHD may be present and what support may help your child thrive.

Why some families choose a private ADHD assessment

Families often seek a private assessment when they want earlier clarity, a detailed evaluation, and a clear plan for support.

ADHD Treatment For Children & Adolescents (under 18’s)

ADHD can affect a child’s ability to focus, regulate behaviour, and manage everyday tasks. Some children may struggle with attention at school, while others may appear restless, impulsive, or easily distracted.

Because many behaviours associated with ADHD can also occur in childhood development, a careful clinical evaluation is essential.

A specialist assessment helps determine whether a child’s experiences are consistent with ADHD and identifies appropriate support options for both home and school environments.

    Awesome experience!
    We are so glad that we finally got round to this and only wish we had come a few years ago. We have a boy and girl aged 9 and 11, both with long suspected ADHD symptoms. We had tried getting help through local NHS services but were going round in circles. We finally decided to have them assessed privately at The ADHD Centre in September. As a result we have been able to access the treatment, care and support they really need. It’s so great to see them both flourishing at school and at home.

    Awesome experience!
    I recently booked an online skype assessment with Dr. Kulik through the ADHD Centre. I was waiting for lockdown to end but then decided that I could not wait any longer as my symptoms were getting worse. The assessment was very clear and worked well over the internet. I have now started treatment which is making a massive difference during these challenging times. I hope that more clinics offer this service in the future and perhaps more aspects of healthcare can go online.

    Awesome experience!
    My best friend had been wondering if she had ADHD and really struggling with her job and family life. I wanted to help so I found the ADHD Centre online. She has now been fully assessed and diagnosed and started treatment with medication and coaching. The change has been incredible. She is so much happier now!
    Sophia Bartlett
    Awesome experience!
    I am a parent of an ADHD child and I was very worried how this may affect his accademic success, self-esteem and general happiness. Dr Kumar from the ADHD Centre has done a really first class job in helping the whole family through the diagnosis and treatment process. I can now say that my son is thriving at school and so much happier.
    Joseph Knight
    Awesome experience!
    Thanks to everyone at the ADHD Centre for helping so much with son’ss care. He is now able to actually pay attention during lessons and not get so easily distracted. He feels much better about himself now that he is doing better at school. This has had a really positive knock on effect on everything from his social skills to ability in team sports as well as gearing him up for his exams. I have already recommended the Centre to a few other families in a similar situation.

    I have had a great experience with the ADHD centre. I was treated by Dr Upadhya who I highly recommend. She who was very patient and thorough during the diagnosis and treatment process. I have since had several follow up sessions with her and she has always shown a keen interest in my well being. The ADHD clinic staff have also been great, they were also quick to respond to any emails I had.
    Adam Makhfoudi
    Awesome experience!
    I came to the ADHD centre looking for answers and how to make sense of a lot of my life. Dr Chowdhury put me at my ease immediately. In our initial 90 minute diagnostic conversation (following filling in and submitting online questionnaires) I felt comfortable, listened to, heard and respected. She was friendly and encouraging and I always felt she had my best interest at heart.

    Our experienced clinicians take a careful, child-focused approach to help families understand their child’s needs and the next steps forward.

    The ADHD Centre’s London clinic is in Wimpole Street, Marylebone. Our Manchester ADHD clinic is located on Wilmslow Road. You can also book an online assessment via Zoom.

    ADHD assessments can be conducted in childhood when symptoms significantly affect daily functioning. A clinician will consider developmental stage and context during evaluation.

    The ADHD Centre is the UK’s leading provider of ADHD assessment and treatment services for young adolescents and children aged nine years and older. During your child’s assessment, which is conducted by a specialist Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and typically takes between 90 and 120 minutes, we’ll use the Conners 3 diagnostic assessment tool to obtain an objective understanding of how your child’s ADHD symptoms may have affected them throughout life. There are three components; teacher, parent, and child. During the assessment, we consider your child’s presenting symptoms, past medical history, developmental history, and family history.

    We offer a range of different private ADHD assessments and treatment plans. Prices vary depending on the services you require; please see our ADHD treatment Pricing page for more information.
