Understanding online ADHD assessments for children and young people

At Healios, an online ADHD assessment for a child or young person is delivered through a series of structured video appointments with specialist clinicians.

These assessments aim to understand a child's attention, activity levels, behaviour, and everyday challenges as well as strengths. While some children receive a formal ADHD diagnosis, others may not meet the diagnostic criteria. Even if your child does not receive a diagnosis, the assessment and report can provide valuable insights and a richer understanding of your child or young person's strengths and difficulties.

Many families begin exploring an ADHD assessment after noticing differences in how their child focuses, behaves, or manages daily tasks. Some children appear restless or impulsive, while others primarily struggle with attention, organisation, or sustaining focus. For families, the assessment process can bring clarity, reassurance, and actionable advice, regardless of whether a diagnosis is given.

We know this process can feel overwhelming. At Healios, we aim to make ADHD assessments clear, supportive, and compassionate, helping children and young people to thrive and gain the support and understanding they need.
