We are a home educating family and have been closely watching the experiences of another home ed family trying to get their son an adhd assessment through the nhs. They have been refused a referral because they require input from the child’s teacher and obviously their son is not in school and they can’t accept his mother as the teacher because she is also his parent. My child is nearly 5 and because of seeing this other family struggle I am seriously considering a private assessment. I just wondered if any other home educators managed to get an adhd assessment, because from a quick google search it seems like private assessments also want to communicate with a school as well as parents.
