ADHD Assessment

Thorough collaborative ADHD assessment for children and young people, from early primary years through adolescence including presentations that are often missed or misread, such as in teenage girls.

I have a particular interest in early identification and assessment, especially for younger children aged six to twelve and into adolescence. Concerns raised at this age are often met with a 'wait and see' approach, or families find themselves navigating a gap in services between initial concern and formal assessment.

Bringing assessment forward where appropriate means families aren't left waiting, and it opens the door to considering all the options and interventions appropriate to an ADHD diagnosis, at the right time for your child.

ADHD in girls often looks different

Many girls work very hard to hold it together. They can seem fine in school and then fall apart at home, so their struggles are missed for years or put down to anxiety or “just being sensitive”.

  • Daydreaming, losing track, quietly falling behind

  • Masking in school, meltdowns or exhaustion at home

  • Friendship worries and sensitivity to criticism

  • Anxiety, low mood or perfectionism on top

How the assessment works

Consultation call:

A 30-minute phone call with a parent, to make sure the assessment is the right fit for your child.

Gathering information:

ADHD questionnaires from home and school, and from your young person too if they’re older. The parent session can be online.

Meeting your child:

I meet your child or teenager in person in Naul, at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

Fees: Consultation call €50 · Full assessment €1,200, including the written report.

Feedback & report:

We talk through the findings together, and you get a written report with practical recommendations for home and school.

After the diagnosis

A diagnosis is often just the beginning. For families wanting ongoing support once the assessment is complete, I offer dedicated post-diagnosis support for young people and their families.

Including my online parent groups: Diagnosed. Medicated. Still struggling?
