• Transfer Your Care: Child Form (16 to 17 years old)

  • Welcome to your child's transfer of care form.

    We understand that filling out forms can feel like a big task, but rest assured, your input, along with your child's, is vital for an accurate assessment.

    Depending on the age of your child, they may be able to answer some of these questions themselves, or you may need to assist them in providing their answers.

    These forms are very important for our clinicians to develop an in-depth understanding of your child's unique experiences. Embrace this opportunity to provide valuable insights into their mental health, allowing us to tailor our support to their specific needs. Thank you for taking this essential step towards a better understanding of ADHD and your child’s needs.

  • ATTENDANCE:

    Children's TYC appointments can be attended by one or both parents, this is entirely the family's choice. There is no requirement for both parents to be present, and the assessment can be completed with just one parent attending.

  • The first step is consent to your child's care.

    • Click here to provide consent.  

    • In order to provide safe and effective care during the transfer of care appointment, we request your consent to communicate with your child's General Practitioner (GP). This may include obtaining a GP summary sheet and, where necessary, additional information about your child's medical history.

      Following the appointment, we will also share relevant information with your child's GP, typically in the form of a written letter outlining the outcome of your appointment. Once completed, we will also send your child's GP a copy of the written report. 

      This collaboration is clinically important to ensure an integrated and informed approach to your ongoing care. Engaging with your child's GP supports coordination between healthcare providers and helps us deliver the most effective care plan for you.

      Please note: we do require this consent in order to proceed with the transfer of care appointment.

    As part of the assessment, we carry out screening for autistic traits.

For this reason, we routinely include autism screening as part of our assessments and appreciate you completing the following questionnaires.

  • Confidential Parental Feedback

  • Please be aware that, during your child's appointment, it may not be possible to speak to you alone, without your child being present. 

    As such, we have provided this box in order for you to discuss any confidential matters that you would not like to speak about in front of your child. 

    Information submitted in the box below will be considered when assessing your child, but will not be mentioned to them in your appointment or in their report. 

    PLEASE NOTE: If there is sensitive information you would like to discuss in-person with your child's clinician, then please bring a SECOND supervising adult to your child's appointment. This way your child can be supervised in the waiting room while you have a private conversation with the clinician. 

  • Shadowing Consent:

  • At ADHD Direct, we have an ongoing programme of training and supervision for clinicians who wish to specialise in the field of neurodiversity. As part of this, we frequently work with clinicians who are developing their clinical skills.

    In order to gain experience, these clinicians must be supervised or shadowed by a more senior clinician. This means that, in some appointments, there may be two clinicians present—one conducting the assessment and the other observing or assisting under supervision.

    All clinicians, including those in training, are strictly bound by confidentiality rules. You have the right to choose whether you are comfortable with having an additional clinician in the room during your appointment. You can also decide whether you are happy for them to take an active role in your assessment.

    Whatever you decide, we fully respect your wishes, and your choice will never affect the quality of your care or treatment.

     

  • Do you consent to having your child's appointment shadowed by another clinician or student ? (Having an additional clinician in the room, observing the assessment?)*
  • Do you consent to a shadowing clinician or student participating in the assessment?*

  • Transcript Consent

  • Heidi AI is a secure speech-to-text tool used during ADHD assessments. It helps your clinician capture important details accurately so we can populate your child's clinical report. Are you happy for your clinician to use Heidi AI or a similar voice-to-text transcription tool to transcribe your child's consultation? It does not keep an audio recording; it simply converts what is said into written text, which our typists then use to check and complete your child's report accurately.

  • Do you consent to ADHD Direct using Heidi AI (or similar) during your child's assessment*
