Do ProblemShared provide assessments for young children under the age of 7?

We do not currently offer neurodevelopmental assessments for children below the age of 7.

We pride ourselves on our quality of service and our ability to deliver clinically robust assessments that clients can trust. Accurately diagnosing children under the age of 7 with ADHD through remote assessments is incredibly challenging, as symptoms of ADHD can be difficult to distinguish from normal developmental behaviours in very young children.

For autism assessments, research has shown that children under the age of 7 respond more effectively to play-based autism observation assessments, which cannot practically be hosted online.

In relation to specific learning differences, children under the age of 7 are still undergoing significant developmental changes, including language acquisition and literacy skills. It can be difficult to distinguish between typical developmental variations and signs of dyslexia at this young age.

With this in mind, and in the interest of best practice, we do not offer online assessments for children under the age of 7.
