Assessment for ADHD and Austim in adulthood
Dr Jami is experienced in conducting diagnostic assessments for Neurodevelopmental conditions (such as Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD)
ADHD Assessments
ADHD assessments can be arranged in two different formats. Some people prefer a single extended online appointment (around 3-4 hours) followed by a one-hour feedback session the following week. Alternatively, the assessment can be split into two online sessions of about two hours each.
The assessment process explores:
-
The reasons for seeking an ADHD assessment at this point in time
-
Developmental background (we provide a document to help you prepare)
-
Early years and primary school experiences
-
Secondary school and higher education
-
Work history (if relevant)
-
ADHD traits observed during childhood
-
Current ADHD characteristics in adulthood (we provide a Conners questionnaire for you and someone who knows you well)
-
Mental health and psychological history, including risk factors and any substance use
-
Impact of ADHD traits on daily life (a preparation document is provided)
To ensure a comprehensive picture, we will discuss the option of input from a parent/carer (or someone who knew you well as a child).
