Help with ADHD assessment

Hi all, DD Y5 shows signs of ADHD, inattention and constant need to fidget. Schools can see signs, but it is far more noticeable at home. GP referred to CAMHS, and although CAMHS accept there are signs, they want to "wait and see" before they assess due to waiting lists constraints. I need to know needs fully before considering secondary schools.
Have looked in Right to Choose, but struggling to find face to face assessors for children in London. Would also consider going private to speed things up.
Any recommendations for both, please. We are in North London.

For a private ADHD assessment you could look at Dr Maite Ferrin.

I can’t help with a F2F RTC assessment in London, sorry.
