At MAPP Psychology, our team of expert psychologists specialise in understanding, assessing and diagnosing ADHD. Each psychologist holds advanced doctorate degrees in psychology and has undergone extensive training in assessing ADHD.

Moreover, they stay updated with the latest research and diagnostic criteria related to ADHD, ensuring our assessments adhere to the highest standards of clinical practice. We also have expert experience and training in the utilisation of the clinically proven psychometrics we use to establish a diagnosis of ADHD.

At MAPP Psychology, we understand the importance of creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for ADHD assessments. Our rooms are thoughtfully designed to provide a calming environment where you can feel at ease throughout the assessment process. We understand that individuals with ADHD may experience heightened sensory sensitivities, and our rooms are designed to minimise distractions and foster a conducive atmosphere for concentration and focus.

Also, our team of psychologists are not only highly qualified and experienced but also friendly and approachable. We recognise that the assessment process can be daunting for individuals and their families, and our psychologists strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you will feel supported and understood. From the moment you step into our office, you'll be greeted with a smile and treated with empathy and respect.

We believe in taking a client-centred approach to ADHD assessments, and that includes creating a supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, concerns, and experiences. Our psychologists take the time to build rapport with clients, fostering a trusting relationship that allows for open communication and collaboration throughout the assessment process.

At MAPP Psychology, we are committed to providing the highest quality ADHD assessments, utilising the most effective and clinically proven testing available. We follow the NICE guidelines (in line with the NHS) and our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring accurate and reliable diagnosis and evaluation of ADHD symptoms. We employ a variety of comprehensive psychometric tests specifically designed to assess various aspects of ADHD symptoms and related difficulties. These tests are carefully selected based on their validity, reliability, and sensitivity to ADHD-related impairments. Our psychometric tools include measures of attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, among others.

Psychometric testing provides an objective and standardised way to measure ADHD symptoms, allowing for a more accurate and reliable assessment compared to subjective observations alone. By quantifying cognitive abilities, behavioural patterns, and attentional processes, we can establish an ADHD diagnosis where appropriate and differentiate it from other conditions with overlapping symptoms. We understand that ADHD presents differently in each individual and can coexist with other conditions, such as learning disabilities or mood disorders. That's why we take a tailored approach to ADHD assessments, selecting psychometric tests that best suit the unique needs and characteristics of each client.

At MAPP Psychology, we believe in a comprehensive approach to ADHD assessment that goes beyond just observation. Our assessment procedure involves a thorough verbal interview that provides a platform for you to express your experiences and challenges. Additionally, we value the insights provided by loved ones and family members, recognising the unique perspectives they can bring on your behaviour and functioning. This collateral information from family members or close associates is integrated into our assessment process, offering a holistic view of symptoms and their impact on daily life.

By combining a full verbal assessment with collateral information we establish a clear understanding of the extent of any potential ADHD diagnosis, ensuring the assessment is holistic, thorough, accurate, and reflective of your lived experience.
