Adult ADHD Assessment Process
Adult ADHD assessments at Curious Minds usually take place over two appointments. The aim is to build a full understanding of your attention, concentration, impulsivity, activity levels, executive functioning, developmental history, strengths, needs, and day-to-day life. We work at a pace that feels comfortable and explain each stage of the process as we go.
1
Developmental and Clinical History Interview
Typical length: 60 to 90 minutes
The first appointment is a detailed developmental and clinical history interview. During this session, we ask about your early development and life so far, with a particular focus on attention, concentration, organisation, planning, impulsivity, restlessness, emotional regulation, sleep, education, work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities.
This interview helps us understand whether ADHD-related traits have been present over time and how they may affect different areas of your life. Where helpful, you may choose to involve someone who knew you well during childhood, such as a parent, carer, sibling, or another trusted person. If you have school reports, previous assessments, professional letters, or other relevant information, you are welcome to share these with us.
2
ADHD Assessment and Feedback
Typical length: 2 to 3 hours, including a break
The second appointment includes a structured ADHD assessment. This usually involves further discussion, completion or review of ADHD questionnaires, and exploration of how attention, impulsivity, activity levels, organisation, time management, and emotional regulation affect your daily life. We will also ask about your medical and mental health history, as this helps us build a fuller understanding of your experiences and any factors that may be relevant to the assessment. We will explain what is happening throughout and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
After the assessment, we bring together information from all parts of the process, including the developmental and clinical history interview, any questionnaires or reports, and our clinical observations. We will then provide feedback about our findings, talk through whether you meet criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, and discuss recommendations for support going forward.
After the Assessment
After the assessment, we will send you a detailed written report summarising the information gathered, our clinical findings, the outcome of the assessment, and any recommendations for support. If you would like to talk through the report or have any further questions, we can also offer a follow-up phone call if needed.
