Child and Adolescent ADHD Assessment
As a parent or carer, it can be worrying to see your child struggling with focus, organisation, behaviour, or emotions. Sometimes these challenges are part of growing up, but when they start to impact school, friendships, and family life, an ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) assessment can provide much-needed clarity and guidance.
At Bywater Therapy, we offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for children and young people, helping families understand their child’s needs and access the right support at home, in school, and beyond.
