We use the following assessment tools:
The Conners’ Adult (CAARS-2) and the Connors-4 Child Rating Scales - are screening tools which look at the following areas: inattention/memory problems, hyperactivity/restlessness, impulsivity/emotional lability. These are measured to demonstrate the presence and severity of ADHD symptoms. We use the long version, which provides the most detailed information and allows us to determine whether to proceed with a full diagnostic assessment using the DIVA. The Connors is administered via online questionnaire with feedback via a Zoom appointment.
The DIVA – Diagnostic Interview for ADHD, is a comprehensive assessment tool used for children, adolescents, and adults. This is carried out either face to face or via Zoom.
Children and Young People - we currently offer a combined autism and ADHD assessment using the Connors screening measures and the Diva.
Adults - we are currently only able to offer the CAARS screening, for which there is an administration fee of £25. Unfortunately we are unable to complete the full DIVA assessment.
