ADHD Assessment for Clarity — Not a Quick Label
Attention problems have many causes. ADHD assessment evaluates attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity carefully — and helps distinguish ADHD from anxiety, learning difficulties or sleep and stress factors that can look similar. When social communication or wider developmental questions sit alongside attention, this work can also sit inside an Autism & Neuro Developmental assessment.
