Private ADHD Assessments for Children in London
Specialist ADHD Assessments for Children & Teenagers
At London Paediatric Clinic, we provide comprehensive private ADHD assessments for children and teenagers experiencing difficulties with attention, concentration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, emotional regulation, behaviour, or school performance. Our consultant-led assessments help families better understand whether ADHD or related challenges may be affecting their child’s learning, behaviour, confidence, relationships, and day-to-day wellbeing.
Many children naturally display high energy levels, distractibility, or occasional behavioural difficulties as part of normal childhood development. However, persistent challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation, impulsive behaviour, or hyperactivity can begin to affect progress at school, friendships, family life, and self-esteem. Parents or teachers may notice that a child struggles to concentrate, follow instructions, complete tasks, remain organised, regulate emotions, or manage behaviour compared with other children of a similar age.
We take a thorough and personalised approach to every assessment, allowing time to carefully explore behavioural patterns, school or nursery feedback, developmental history, emotional wellbeing, and the overall impact symptoms may be having on daily life. Our aim is not only to assess for ADHD where appropriate, but also to provide families with clear guidance, reassurance, and practical next steps within a calm and supportive environment.
Conveniently located in Central London, London Paediatric Clinic offers rapid access to experienced private ADHD assessments for children and adolescents.

Comprehensive ADHD Assessments
Our ADHD assessments take a detailed and holistic approach to understanding your child’s attention, behaviour, emotional regulation, and overall functioning across different environments, including home, nursery, and school. We recognise that ADHD can present differently in every child, with symptoms varying depending on age, personality, educational setting, and individual strengths or challenges.
During the assessment process, we carefully explore concerns relating to concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, impulsive behaviour, organisation, emotional regulation, learning, social interaction, and school performance. Parents may describe difficulties such as forgetfulness, restlessness, emotional outbursts, difficulty following instructions, challenges completing tasks or homework, behavioural difficulties at home or school, sleep concerns, or struggles with friendships and confidence.
We also take into account developmental history, family concerns, school feedback, and any other factors that may be contributing to your child’s difficulties. Our aim is to build a clear overall understanding of your child’s needs while helping families feel informed, reassured, and supported throughout the assessment process.
Understanding ADHD in Children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, concentration, impulse control, activity levels, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Symptoms often begin during childhood and may influence learning, school performance, behaviour, friendships, confidence, and emotional wellbeing if difficulties remain unsupported. Some children primarily experience inattentive symptoms, including poor concentration, forgetfulness, distractibility, disorganisation, or difficulty completing tasks, while others may display more hyperactive or impulsive behaviours such as restlessness, excessive talking, impatience, or difficulty remaining still. Many children experience a combination of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. Early assessment can help families gain a clearer understanding of their child’s behaviour, strengths, and challenges, while also providing access to appropriate support strategies, educational guidance, behavioural interventions, and ongoing management where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ADHD assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a detailed evaluation used to understand whether your child’s difficulties with attention, concentration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, behaviour, or emotional regulation may be consistent with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
What are the common signs of ADHD in children?
Common signs may include difficulty concentrating, distractibility, restlessness, impulsive behaviour, emotional outbursts, poor organisation, difficulty completing tasks, forgetfulness, and behavioural or learning difficulties at school or home.
At what age can ADHD be assessed?
ADHD symptoms often become more noticeable during the early school years, although some children may show signs earlier. Assessments are always tailored to your child’s age, symptoms, and developmental stage.
Can ADHD affect school performance?
Yes. ADHD can affect concentration, organisation, emotional regulation, learning, classroom behaviour, and the ability to complete tasks, which may impact academic progress and confidence at school.
Is every energetic or distracted child affected by ADHD?
No. Many children naturally display high energy levels or occasional distractibility. ADHD is usually considered when symptoms are persistent, occur across different settings, and begin to affect day-to-day functioning, learning, relationships, or emotional wellbeing.
What happens after the assessment?
Following the assessment, we provide clear feedback, practical guidance, and personalised recommendations tailored to your child’s needs. This may include reassurance, behavioural strategies, educational support, ongoing monitoring, or further ADHD management where appropriate.
Do you assess girls for ADHD?
Yes. ADHD can present differently in girls and may sometimes be less easily recognised than in boys. We assess both boys and girls with concerns relating to concentration, emotional regulation, behaviour, and attention difficulties.
How quickly can my child be seen?
We aim to provide prompt private ADHD assessment appointments, helping families access experienced paediatric support, clarity, and reassurance without unnecessary delays.
