Neurodevelopmental Assessment & Care
We know that the journey to getting an assessment can be long and stressful. Wait times can cause anxiety and distress for you and your family.
We understand that a diagnosis, or a non-diagnosis can produce mixed emotions for both individuals and their families.
That’s where we can help, by partnering with your:
- NHS service
- University
- Insurance provider
Our team of expert practitioners provide you with the best neurodevelopmental care and support by walking you through every step of the journey.
What happens in the assessment process?
Once you have been enrolled by your organisation and had your initial call you will go through the following steps:
Pre-Assessment Questionnaires
- Download and complete your forms to help give our clinicians some background information.
- Nominate someone who knows you well, who will also fill out a questionnaire to help with the assessment process.
Assessment Interview
- Your practitioner will meet you on our secure online video platform and take you through the assessment.
- Children can bring a parent or guardian with them.
Assessment Diagnosis
- Your practitioner will meet you on our secure online video platform and take you through the assessment.
- Children can bring a parent or guardian with them.
What happens after your diagnosis?
ADHD Medication
How It Works
After a positive diagnosis, if you choose to try medication, you will have frequent reviews with a team of expert ADHD nurses who will look at your specific care and prescribing needs.
Treatment Reviews
Everyone's treatment is bespoke but typically our specialist nurses will review your medication monthly until you are at the right dose of medication to control your symptoms, with the fewest side effects.
Treatment Planning Session
You will receive an appointment via email for an online planning session where we discuss the different options for medication, along with the non-medication options. We will then agree a treatment plan together once you have understood the choices and information.
Stimulants
Methylphenidate and Dexamfetamine work for a range of different durations, depending on your requirements. Your specialist nurse will explore with you which may be better suited to you. Advice on how to take your medications will also be given to you.
Non-Stimulants
Atomoxetine should be taken every day for it to work, but it has the advantage of not wearing off.
Shared Care
We work directly with you and your G.P. and ask your G.P. to continue to prescribe your medication.
If your G.P. does not offer shared care, you can continue with us on a self-pay arrangement.
Once your medication is optimised we will continue to offer medication reviews as necessary in accordance with NICE guidelines.
Psychoeducation Group Session
Group sessions for individuals and families following diagnosis of ADHD or Autism.
For Children
We offer all of the above services in addition to:
Education Navigator
Sessions with an education expert who can provide information on accessing local support.
Feedback from our clients
Michael, 45 yr old
I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of the team at ProblemShared for their time and dedication this week and before for helping my son with his assessments. It will make a massive difference to him and us as his family.
