Common Reasons Families Get in Touch
Real Reasons Parents Book This Assessment
Families usually come to us for one of a few specific reasons.
01
A teacher or school has raised concerns, and you need a formal assessment to understand what is happening.
02
You are on a long HSE waiting list and want a proper assessment sooner.
03
Your child needs documentation for school supports, such as extra time, a reduced-distraction setting, or a formal accommodation plan.
04
You are applying for RACE for the Junior or Leaving Certificate and need a formal psychiatric or psychological report.
05
You are applying for DARE for college admission and need professional documentation.
06
Your GP has suggested a specialist assessment and you want to move forward with a psychiatrist.
The assessment report can support a RACE or DARE application, but eligibility and final accommodation decisions are made by the State Examinations Commission and DARE respectively, not by Prowise Clinic.
A useful outcome, whichever way the evidence points
What Changes After an Assessment

The diagnostic pathway
What Actually Happens
Referral & Background
The process usually starts with a referral or enquiry from a parent or carer, school, GP, or directly from the young person if they are old enough. A conversation covers history, symptoms, what prompted the assessment now, and your questions.
The Assessment
A single extended video consultation uses standardised clinical tools and a structured clinical interview. This is where the consultant determines whether ADHD is present and considers other possible explanations.
Report & Next Steps
You receive a written report, a supporting school letter where relevant, and agreed next steps. If ADHD is confirmed and medication is clinically agreed, a prescription can be sent to your nominated pharmacy.
Fee transparency
One Fee. Nothing Hidden.
The assessment fee covers the extended session, written report, a supporting school letter where relevant, and a prescription sent to your pharmacy if medication is agreed.
