Assessments & guidance
When everyday tasks take more effort than others realise, it can be difficult to explain what is happening. You may be looking for answers for yourself, or wondering how best to support your child. Glowing Psychology offers ADHD assessments for children and adults to help explore those questions.
Start with the service that fits your needs above, or speak with our team before deciding what to do next.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition. It can affect attention, activity levels and impulse control. Experiences vary: some people mainly notice difficulties with attention, some with hyperactivity and impulsivity, and others with both.
Staying with a task, following instructions or remembering everyday essentials may be difficult.
Planning, keeping track of belongings and managing time can take extra effort.
Restlessness, interrupting or acting before considering the consequences may be part of the picture.
These experiences do not diagnose ADHD on their own. A specialist assessment considers their history, impact and other possible explanations. For general information, visit the NHS guide to ADHD in adults.
What would you like to understand about your child’s day? Consider the moments that go well as well as those that feel difficult. Bring questions about home life, friendships, learning and the support you are seeking.
You may want to explore patterns in work, study, relationships or daily responsibilities. Our adult assessment service is designed to consider your experiences and help you understand the findings in the context of your life.
Our existing ADHD service information describes questionnaires, specialist assessment and personalised recommendations. The team can explain the precise arrangements for your chosen pathway before you book.
Discuss what has brought you here and which assessment pathway may be relevant.
Pre-assessment questionnaires provide information for the team to review before the next stage.
Specialist assessment brings together your history, everyday experiences and assessment tools.
Discuss the outcome, personalised recommendations and relevant sources of support.
Rather than trying to remember everything in an appointment, make a few notes under these three headings:
What takes effort?
Choose two or three recent examples you would like to discuss.
What already helps?
Note the routines, environments or support that make a difference.
What would you like to change?
Describe what you hope to understand and the questions you want answered.
Bring relevant previous reports if you have them, and ask the team which information would be useful. You do not need a perfectly organised history to start a conversation.
