Private ADHD Screening Assessment for Adults in Warrington
Understanding your lived experience
Specialist, NICE-compliant ADHD screening assessments for adults. We combine clinical expertise with QbCheck technology to validate your struggles and unlock your true potential.
The “Why Now?”
The explanation you’ve been waiting for.
Our screening assessment provides the clinical context to better understand your lived experiences.
Why We Use Technology
Objective Proof, Not Just Opinion.
Understanding ADHD involves looking at the whole person, not relying on one test or measure. QbCheck provides objective information about attention, activity and impulsivity, which we consider alongside clinical interview and other screening measures.
How it works
Completed in-clinic, simple, non-invasive and objective data collection.
The Data
It measures Hyperactivity, Inattention and Impulsivity.
The Result
The check provides objective information that contributes to the overall screening picture, comparing your results with data from other people of a similar age and sex.
The Screening Pathway
A comprehensive screening assessment.
Our pathway follows NICE Guidelines and best practice.
Information Gathered
Forms are completed to explore developmental history and traits, including ACE/ADHD rating scales and full medical history.
The QbCheck
Completed in clinic, simple, non-invasive and objective data collection.
The Browns Executive Functioning Test
This assessment is completed remotely before the appointment and explores an adult’s executive functioning skills – the cognitive processes involved in areas such as attention, planning, organisation, managing tasks and self-regulation.
Meeting with your clinician
You will spend time with your clinician talking through your experiences, strengths and areas of difficulty. This may explore areas such as attention, organisation, impulsivity and executive functioning, and the impact these may have on work, relationships and day-to-day life.
Feedback & Report
Our practitioners will compile a report based on the information gathered throughout the assessment, providing you with clarity and understanding and a clear evidence base to request workplace adjustments under the Equality Act. Your report will usually be provided within four to six weeks of your face-to-face appointment.

Self-Compassion
Mental Health
Understanding yourself allows you understand your past struggles and start working with them, being kinder to yourself, reducing anxiety and shame.
Combined assessments
Seeing the whole picture.
Whilst some providers offer combined Autism and ADHD assessments, we offer two separate assessments rather than a combined package, with a discounted rate and support to help you navigate both pathways.
The Benefits
Why choose our assessment pathway?
Clinical Accuracy
Assessing for Autism and ADHD separately helps reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and allows us to distinguish clearly between overlapping traits.
Cost & Time Efficient
Although the assessments are completed separately, booking both with us helps streamline the process and includes a discounted rate.
Comprehensive Reports
You will receive detailed, evidence-based reports, one for each assessment we undertake. The autism diagnostic report includes clear, practical recommendations for education and work settings, whilst the ADHD report outlines ADHD-related traits and areas of difficulty to support understanding and next steps.

Do you find social cues difficult to interpret (Autism), while also talking frequently or interrupting others (ADHD)?

The AYC Difference
Why Choose Us?

Common Questions
We can discuss the options with you beforehand and help you decide where to start. If you proceed with both, we can offer you a discount and you would receive a full report for each, clearly explaining the findings and recommendations.
Before your appointment, you will complete a number of questionnaires, including the Brown Executive Function/Attention Scale, online. You then attend a face-to-face appointment at our Warrington clinic, and your report will usually be provided within four to six weeks of that appointment.
Our ADHD screening costs £500 and is completed by an experienced Neurodevelopmental Practitioner at our Warrington clinic.
The screening includes a QbCheck assessment, Brown Executive Function measures and a structured clinical interview to explore ADHD traits and their impact on everyday life.
You will receive a detailed written report outlining the findings, identifying ADHD traits and areas of difficulty. Where significant ADHD traits are identified,
Where significant ADHD traits are identified, we can arrange an onward referral to an appropriate specialist for a full diagnostic assessment, at an additional cost of approximately £500.
We use the QbCheck, an objective computer-based assessment that measures attention, impulsivity and activity levels. It provides objective information about how an individual focuses, responds and regulates activity during a structured task.
Prior to the assessment, individuals also complete the Brown Executive Function/Attention Scale. This questionnaire explores areas of executive functioning that are commonly affected in ADHD, such as organisation, planning, working memory, attention, emotional regulation and task completion. The questionnaire is completed online before your appointment.
Neither assessment is used in isolation. The QbCheck and Brown Scale form part of a comprehensive screening assessment alongside developmental history, rating scales and a detailed clinical interview. Together, these assessment tools help us build a fuller understanding of an individual’s strengths, challenges and support needs.
Our practitioners compile the report based on all information gathered throughout the assessment, helping to provide clarity and understanding of your strengths, challenges and support needs. The report can be shared with employers, universities, healthcare professionals or other agencies if you choose to do so and may be used to help evidence support needs and support requests for reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act. It may also be used as supporting evidence when accessing services, support or accommodations in education, employment and other settings.
Following the screening assessment, you will receive a written report summarising the findings and whether ADHD traits have been identified. Many people find that the screening provides greater clarity and understanding of their experiences.
If the screening indicates significant ADHD traits, you may choose to proceed with a full diagnostic assessment through our associate psychiatrist. Alternatively, you may use the screening report as supporting evidence when requesting an NHS assessment or when discussing support needs and reasonable adjustments with educational providers, employers or other services.
The screening assessment is designed to help individuals make informed decisions about their next steps and can reduce the need to commit immediately to the cost of a full diagnostic assessment.
