Surrey Child Psychology

ADHD Child and Young Person questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed for parents to complete about a child or young person aged 7 to 17 years.

It includes questions that explore some of the most common signs of ADHD. While it can offer helpful insights, please keep in mind that it’s not a diagnostic tool and should not be used to replace a professional assessment.

All responses are anonymous and confidential. This is a simple screening measure to suggest the presence or absence of certain neurodiverse traits. It is not a formal diagnosis.
