Signs of ADHD in children and teenagers
ADHD presents differently at different ages — and differently in boys and girls. Here are the common signs by age group.
All ages
✓Persistent difficulty concentrating on tasks
✓Easily distracted by external stimuli
✓Often fails to complete schoolwork
✓Frequently losing belongings — PE kit, pencils, homework
Primary age (6–11)
✓Excessive movement — climbing, running inappropriately
✓Calling out in class without waiting to be called
✓Difficulty playing quietly
✓Very short attention span even for preferred activities
Secondary age (12–17)
✓Academic underperformance despite clear ability
✓Poor organisation of schoolwork and deadlines
✓Emotional sensitivity and mood swings
✓Risky or impulsive decisions with peers
ADHD in girls is frequently missed. Girls more often present with inattentive ADHD — daydreaming, losing focus quietly — rather than the disruptive hyperactivity more commonly associated with ADHD in boys. Many girls are not identified until secondary school or adulthood.

Findings, school guidance & next steps
Your child attends from home. Research shows children feel significantly more relaxed in their own environment. No travel, no clinic waiting rooms. The clinician adapts their approach to your child's age and communication style.
Common questions
Child assessment FAQs
Signs include persistent difficulty concentrating in school, impulsive behaviour that is out of step with peers, excessive restlessness, underperforming academically despite clear ability, difficulty following multi-step instructions, and frequent emotional outbursts. Our clinicians assess the whole child across multiple settings — not just classroom behaviour.
The assessment takes 90–120 minutes via secure video and involves the child and parent/carer. In advance, you complete a detailed parent questionnaire and school history forms. The clinician conducts a structured clinical interview, reviews the QbCheck results, and builds a comprehensive picture of your child's development, strengths and challenges.
NeuroAxis clinicians are experienced in engaging children via video. Research shows that 85% of children feel more relaxed in their own home during remote assessments. The session is paced to the child — there is no pressure, and the clinician adapts their approach to the child's age and communication style.
Yes — you can self-refer directly. No GP referral is required for a private assessment. We recommend sharing the written report with your GP afterwards, particularly if medication may be part of the pathway.
Yes. A NICE-compliant diagnosis from a registered UK clinician is valid for school EHCP applications, SEN support, exam access arrangements (including extra time), and disability disclosure. Our reports include specific educational recommendations to support these applications.
A private assessment provides answers within weeks rather than years. Alternatively, the NHS Right to Choose pathway can reduce waits to 9–15 months for eligible families in England. NeuroAxis is pursuing Right to Choose accreditation — register your interest via our contact page.
