Do you assess for dyslexia?
Yes, we assess those aged 8 and over for dyslexia.
Do you assess for ADHD?
Yes, but only adults (minimum age 18). Please note that the type of ADHD assessment that Ulster Assessments carries out does not enable access to ADHD medication. Access to ADHD medication can only be gained via a medical diagnosis (which you can explore via your own GP).
However, rest assured that the type of ADHD assessment that Ulster Assessments carries out enables access to government-funded support such as the Disabled Students' Allowance or the Access to Work (NI) scheme. We also provide an official referral letter for clients to take to their GPs, if they wish to go down the medical diagnosis route following an assessment from us. Specific information on the type of assessment for ADHD that we carry out can be found here.
How much does an assessment cost?
£550 - to be made prior to the assessment (on the day is fine) and via either cash, bank transfer, PayPal or Revolut.
How long does an assessment normally take?
Approximately two hours but rest assured, breaks can be taken.
