Assessment Process

We follow NICE guidelines to deliver high-quality, evidence-based assessments using a combination of screening tools, interviews, and observations. Our approach considers co-occurring conditions like anxiety or mood disorders to ensure support is well-targeted.

Assessment takes place over several weeks, depending on how quickly we can gather information from parents, schools, and other professionals.

​

Standardised tools may include:

• Conners 4 (ADHD screening for parents, teachers, and young people) 

• AQ10 or SCQ Lifetime (Autism screening for parents) 

• RCADS (Anxiety and depression screening) 

• ACE (ADHD symptom interview checklist) 

• QB-Check (computerised attention and impulsivity test)

Our reports are accepted by education and health services and meet NICE standards.
