Why a Screening Appointment is needed before an ADHD assessment
This is a call with the parent or guardian. It usually lasts 1h - 1h30.
The screening call will:
- Assess whether ADHD symptoms are present and impairing daily functions.
- Check for any other possible causes of the challenging behaviours.
- Advise and signpost to other services if other services would be more suitable
We do this to make sure that it is worth going through the full assessment. This saves time and cost where another service would be better suited.
If your child has any of these symptoms:
- Inattentiveness - struggles to focus
- Hyperactivity - lots of excess energy they struggle to contain
- Impulsivity - acts without thinking
Get in touch to arrange a screening call to see if this is the right service for you and your child. ADHD symptoms can present differently in each child, so if you are in any doubt please get in touch.
