Clinical standards

A diagnosis should be explainable.

Our approach is designed to reach a clinically reasoned conclusion—not simply generate a score. We explain what information is considered, who is responsible and what you will receive.

More than symptom counting

We consider the pattern, persistence and impact of difficulties, developmental history and other factors that could better explain the presentation.

Information from real life

Where relevant and appropriate, information from home, education, work or another person who knows the individual well can help build a rounded picture.

Work within competence

Assessments are allocated to appropriately qualified healthcare professionals working within their professional scope and competence.

A documented conclusion

The responsible clinician explains the outcome and signs the written report, which includes the clinical conclusion and practical recommendations.

What assessment may consider

The wider clinical picture.

Current ADHD-related difficulties and their impact

Developmental, educational, occupational and relevant health history

Whether difficulties are persistent and present in relevant areas of life

Information from another setting or informant, when appropriate

Other conditions or circumstances that could contribute to the presentation

Strengths, needs and practical next steps—not diagnosis alone

Your outcome

A clear discussion and signed report.

After the assessment, the clinician explains the diagnostic conclusion and its basis. You receive a written report signed by the clinician responsible for the assessment, with practical recommendations.

A report does not guarantee that another organisation will prescribe medication, make adjustments or accept a transfer of care; those decisions remain with the relevant service or professional.

Our current service boundary

Tordale Health currently provides ADHD diagnostic assessment and reporting. We do not currently provide medication prescribing or titration, and our autism assessment pathway is not yet open.
