What actually
happens.
An assessor's first question is always the same: what is the evidence? The session gathers it properly, in one sitting, using the same instruments a clinic would ask you to complete, so that whoever assesses you starts from a full picture.
- Structured history. Childhood, education, work, relationships and current difficulties, taken in the order an assessor expects to read them.
- Validated questionnaires. The ASRS v1.1 adult ADHD screener from the WHO, and a DSM-5 symptom module covering all eighteen criteria.
- Attention task. A three-minute Go/No-Go task recording reaction time, misses and false presses.
- Optional qEEG recording. A 4-channel EEG headset records resting activity with eyes open and closed. This is a research-stage measure and is reported as such, never as a result on its own.
- About 90 minutes. Comfortable, non-invasive, nothing to prepare beyond turning up.
