ADHD Assessment

Supporting Mental Health Through Comprehensive ADHD Assessments

ADHD assessments are designed to help you better understand patterns relating to attention, concentration and self-regulation. Our psychologists near Brighton provide assessments for adults, children and teenagers using a supportive, neuro-affirming and respectful approach.

ADHD can present in different ways. Some people experience more difficulty with focus, organisation and staying on task, while others may show more restlessness, impulsivity and high activity levels. Many experience a combination of both.

What to Expect During an ADHD Assessment

We take a comprehensive and tailored approach to ADHD assessment for Brighton residents, with each stage designed to gather relevant information and guide clear recommendations. The process includes:

Multiple Assessment Appointments

Multiple sessions give us time to explore symptoms and relevant information in greater depth, helping form a more well-rounded picture.

Detailed Questionnaires

Questionnaires may be completed by the individual, parents and teachers, depending on the circumstances, to gather information about behaviours and experiences in different settings.

Professional Report Writing

Following the assessment, a comprehensive report summarises the findings and provides clear recommendations for ongoing support.

Tools Utilised in an ADHD Assessment

Our ADHD assessments incorporate validated diagnostic measures to help provide a structured and evidence-informed evaluation across different age groups.

WISC-V / WPPSI-IV: Cognitive assessment tools can help provide insight into areas such as memory and processing speed for children aged 2+ through to adulthood.
BASC-3: This assessment explores emotional and behavioural aspects of ADHD using input from the individual and, where relevant, parents and teachers.
ACE / ACE+: ACE and ACE+ are semi-structured interviews used to explore ADHD symptoms in children and adults respectively.
Conners 3: Designed for children aged 6–18, these rating scales gather information about ADHD symptoms from parents, teachers and the individual.
