Always felt something was different?
Many of the adults we see are at uni or starting work. Some have always felt something was different. For others, attention difficulties have gone under the radar until now, as study loads, deadlines and living independently make things harder to juggle.
Starting tasks is hard, and finishing them is harder
Your focus drifts in lectures, reading or meetings
Keys, dates and deadlines slip through the cracks
You want a clear, independent answer
Four pieces, one picture of your attention
Your story
A diagnostic interview about childhood to now: study, work, relationships and daily life.
Rating scales

Learning, if you want it
Add an educational assessment to look at reading, writing, maths, memory and processing speed.
