Where to get a private ADD assessment

Our 12 year old is having some issues whixh CAMHS believe to be Autism / ADD. They tell us the wait for an NHS assessment is around 2 years. Can anyone help with a recommendation for a private assessment? We can’t see her suffer like this for 2 years so need to find some way through sooner. We are in Scotland, not sure if these assessments are done remotely or not? Thanks I’m advance, we are really worried.

Although this is an NHS site, it has loads of information about the things you can do whilst waiting for assessment and it explains the diagnostic process with links to loads of helpful information, so do have a good read and watch the videos.
