The Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scale is a research-backed online assessment for children aged 6–12 years. It goes beyond identifying ADHD symptoms to also screen for emotional wellbeing, learning difficulties, and behavioural concerns. By offering a broader, evidence-based view of your child’s attention and behaviour, this assessment helps parents and professionals understand the full picture and take informed next steps with clarity and confidence.

Industry experts from renowned universities.
Our assessment package is designed to give you a clear understanding of your child’s emotional, behavioural, and learning needs.
The first session will be taken by a Consultant Psychologist to understand your child’s background, concerns, and goals, and to plan the right set of assessments.
The other three sessions will be taken by a Clinical Psychologist who will conduct detailed assessments and observations to explore your child’s strengths and areas that may need support.
After the sessions, you’ll receive a detailed report along with clear guidance on the next steps for therapy, school, or home support.
