Pre-Screening Assessment
- Complete an online assessment to determine if you currently have ADHD symptoms.
- The process only takes 10 minutes and we will email you your results
Preparing for your video assessment
- Find a comfortable space that is private where you cannot be overheard. It may be helpful to ask family members not to disturb you.
- Avoiding glare in the background e.g. from a window but also making sure the room is adequately lit can help the consultation.
- It may be helpful to take a few minutes prior to your appointment to check your speakers/camera/microphone are on by checking your computer settings. Make sure your device has decent internet security software installed – and that it’s up-to-date (Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, AVG, Avast, Trend Micro, BullGuard, Panda, F-Secure, Webroot etc.).
- If you have any concerns, anxieties or questions about video calling. Email your clinician prior to the appointment.
- Our Meetings are carried out via zoom so you may wish to download the app prior to the meeting.
You will receive an email with a link to join your meeting you are not required to anything else prior to this.
Zoom – Extra Security Measures
As highlighted in the media recently, Zoom is not fully end-to-end encrypted in the same sense that WhatsApp is (for example). This means that whilst other people can’t access the data shared during Zoom video calls, the company itself still could. End-to- end encryption would stop even the company itself from having any access to its communications data (which is not without its problems as it effectively creates a safe space for criminal activities etc.). We use Zoom because it is user-friendly, free and reliable. We believe that the platform is secure. It complies with international standards by encrypting the connection between the user and server using the TLS protocol (Transport Layer Security). This is the same type of security that secure websites (HTTPS) employ to protect financial transactions and personal data etc. if you have any concerns please talk to our Clinicians.
