Concerned about your child's health or development?
Experienced clinicians who listen, assess your child's needs and help you understand what happens next.
Trusted and regulated
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Assessment reports are written to the NICE standards the NHS works to, so they are accepted by schools, GPs and NHS services.
ADHD assessment
A full NICE-standard diagnostic assessment for attention, focus, impulsivity and hyperactivity, with a written report and a clear management plan.
Autism assessment
A structured autism (ASD) diagnostic assessment drawing on school information, developmental history and direct observation of your child.
Combined autism & ADHD
Both assessments carried out together, so overlapping traits are considered side by side rather than in two separate journeys.
Adopted child specialist assessment
A specialist assessment for adopted children, considering early life experiences alongside autism, ADHD and emotional wellbeing.
Anxiety & mental health
Assessment and ongoing management of anxiety, low mood and emotional wellbeing in children and young people.

Tell us what's concerning you, ask any initial questions and we'll help you understand which of our services may be appropriate for your child.
Understanding your child, together.
Your concerns matter, and so does your child's own experience. We bring these together with information from home and school to understand their strengths and the difficulties they face.
Our consultations are unhurried and child-centred. We take the time to find the cause of a difficulty, not just manage its symptoms, and to explain what is happening so that your child's experience finally makes sense - to you and to them.
And we don't stop at the diagnosis. Management, medication review and support for school carry on afterwards.
Why families choose us
NICE-standard diagnosis
Assessments follow NICE guidelines CG128 (autism) and NG87 (ADHD), so reports stand up with schools and the NHS.
Transparent fees
Every fee is published before you book. No surprise charges once an assessment is under way.
Short waits
Our books are open, so families are usually seen in weeks rather than the years of an NHS pathway.
Child-centred
Consultations are unhurried, sensitive and explained in language your child can understand.
What parents tell us
Families share these with us unprompted, usually at the end of their time with the clinic.
“From the very first phone call to the appointment, we finally felt like someone was listening to us and was willing to help. We were offered different treatment routes and given time to discuss them with our daughter, and never rushed into anything.”

Your path from enquiry to ongoing care

- 06
Treatment plan, if you go ahead
Where treatment or medication is appropriate, we review, titrate and support rather than discharge you at diagnosis.
Fees you can see before you commit
We publish what things cost rather than hiding them behind an enquiry, and confirm the exact figure in writing before anything is booked. No surprise charges once an assessment is under way.
Questions parents ask
If yours isn't here, email us - we'd rather answer it than have you book the wrong appointment.
All FAQsWhat services do you offer?
Healthcare4Kids provides child-centred ADHD diagnostic assessments, standalone autism assessments, combined autism and ADHD assessments, assessment for children with an existing ADHD diagnosis, symptom-control appointments for concerns such as anxiety, depression, aggression and sleep, medication prescribing where clinically appropriate, and ongoing ADHD care.
What age groups do you see?
For ADHD assessment, children must be school age and have attended school for at least one term. We can assess ADHD up to age 17, before the child's 18th birthday. Patients can start medication before they are 18, subject to clinical suitability. Ongoing treatment cannot continue beyond the 18th birthday.
Do you offer ADHD assessments?
Yes. We offer 90-minute, child-centred ADHD diagnostic assessments. The assessment follows NICE guidance, considers DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and looks holistically at the child's emotional, physical and mental wellbeing.
Do you offer autism assessments?
Yes. We offer standalone autism assessments and combined autism and ADHD assessments. These child-centred, multidisciplinary assessments consider autism, including PDA as a variant of autism, and associated developmental, emotional, mental and physical health difficulties.
Can you assess for both ADHD and autism?
Yes. Our combined autism and ADHD assessment considers autism, including PDA as a variant of autism, and ADHD, as well as associated conditions and concerns.
Where are assessments carried out?
All initial appointments are face to face. Combined autism and ADHD assessments take place at our consulting rooms at Supersonic House, 23 Adelaide Road, Leamington Spa, CV31 3PD. Some follow-up appointments may be offered face to face or online.
Need urgent help?
Healthcare4Kids is not an emergency service. If your child is in immediate danger or having a medical emergency, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or contact Samaritans free on 116 123 at any time. Children and young people can contact Childline free on 0800 1111.
