Pragnya Indugula offers ADHD testing for clients aged 18+ Dr Elizabeth Blackwood offers ADHD testing for clients aged 10+ At our clinic, our assessment process relies on the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA-5), a systematic tool used to evaluate symptoms and their impact. Alongside this, we conduct a comprehensive interview to understand your experiences and challenges in daily life, both past and present. Additionally, we explore how ADHD symptoms may have manifested during your childhood and schooling years. Our goal is to provide a detailed and accurate understanding of your condition, ensuring that you receive the most effective support and treatment. You will receive a complete report and if an ADHD diagnosis is determined, this can be utilised to guide the course of treatment. Reports will also be sent to your GP and your psychiatrist if appropriate.

ADOS-2 Autism Assessment (Screening and Diagnosis) for adolescents and adults. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) is an activity-based assessment administered by Dr Elizabeth Blackwood to evaluate communication skills, social interaction, and imaginative use of materials in individuals (verbally fluent adolescents and adults) who are suspected to have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The ADOS-2 is currently considered the “gold standard” in the assessment of ASD. The initial interview takes 1 hour, the assessment using the ADOS 2 takes two hours, a further interview using the ADI-R takes another hour. Scoring, results interpretation and report writing takes a further six hours of the clinician's time. After the initial interview, further sessions will be scheduled to conduct the assessment. At this time a deposit will be taken to secure the session times.
