The Assessment Process
Comprehensive ADHD Assessments for Children and Young People
At Neurodev Ltd, we take a thorough, personalised approach to assessing ADHD in children and young people. The process begins with a free consultation, where we discuss the challenges your child is facing. We then gather information through questionnaires completed by parents and teachers. Following this, we conduct an assessment, typically lasting two hours, to evaluate your child's needs. Afterward, we schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the results, offer a diagnosis, and outline a tailored treatment plan to support your child's development and well-being.
Medication
At Neurodev Ltd, we understand that medication can be an essential part of managing ADHD symptoms for many individuals. After a thorough assessment, if appropriate, our expert team will discuss pharmacological options tailored to your specific needs. We offer guidance on the various medications available, their potential benefits, and any side effects, ensuring you make informed decisions about your treatment plan. Our goal is to find the most effective approach to help you or your child manage ADHD and thrive in daily life.
