Why Choose Beacon Autism and ADHD Clinic?

• One Named Consultant: Professor Ahmad Aurakzai sees every child personally — FRCPCH (UK), FRCP (Ireland), FRCP (Glasgow), MRCP (Ireland), MBBS, with over 25 years treating children with ADHD and autism in the NHS
• Whole Process in 2 to 6 Weeks: The clinic states the full process from registration to diagnosis takes around 2 to 6 weeks
• Proper Appointment Length: The child's appointment runs 90 to 120 minutes
• School Evidence Gathered: A school report is requested with consent, and both parents and teachers complete psychometric tests — a stronger evidence base than parent report alone
• Prescribing Included: The clinic provides the full range of services including prescribing medication where appropriate
• Sleep Assessed Too: A separate sleep difficulties assessment, turned around in 1 to 5 days — sleep problems very often accompany ADHD

Assessment Process

Six steps: parental consent and basic details; a school report requested with consent; a developmental questionnaire completed by parents; psychometric tests completed by parents and teachers; a 90 to 120-minute appointment with Professor Aurakzai; then diagnosis and a discussion of treatment options. QB testing and a physical assessment form part of the process.
