Evolve Psychology

Right to Choose ADHD and Autism Assessment Across Five English Cities

Evolve Psychology is an independent psychology and neurodevelopmental practice assessing ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia and intellectual disability from Exeter, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Norwich. It accepts NHS Right to Choose referrals for ADHD assessments for children and young people and for autism assessments; its site says adult ADHD assessments are privately funded only. Child ADHD assessment is £2,100.

Why Choose Evolve Psychology?

• NHS Right to Choose: accepted for ADHD assessments for children and young people (ages 6 to 19) and for autism assessments; adult ADHD assessments are privately funded only
• Five Locations: Exeter, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Norwich, spanning the South West, Yorkshire, the North East and East Anglia
• Beyond ADHD and Autism: Dyslexia, dyscalculia and intellectual disability assessments, which matters where learning difficulties overlap with attention difficulties
• Screening Appointments: Screening available before committing to a full assessment
• Expert Witness Work: The practice provides expert witness services, which indicates its reports are written to a standard that stands up to scrutiny
• Combined Assessment: ADHD and autism assessed together at £3,500

Assessment Process

The practice publishes separate "how to request an assessment" and "what to expect" guidance, and maintains a waiting-times page: worth checking for your nearest site before choosing. The specific diagnostic instruments used are not named on the main page.

Medication

Evolve Psychology does not prescribe ADHD medication, so a diagnosis would need to be taken to a prescriber separately. If you come through Right to Choose expecting treatment as well as diagnosis, ask about the onward route before you are referred.
