We will then proceed to assess the number and severity of ADHD symptoms using a diagnostic tool. At the end of the assessment, you will be given time to ask any questions you might have. Following the assessment, you will be provided with an assessment letter, copy of the diagnostic tool and certificate of diagnosis if applicable.
