A formal assessment for children and adolescents (6-16 years) that screens for both ADHD and autism, and includes a structured parent interview — not just a child questionnaire.
Start with a free 15-minute discovery call to discuss your child's concerns.
ADHD and autism frequently co-occur in children, and their symptoms can overlap significantly — difficulty with attention, challenges with social interaction, and resistance to changes in routine can be present in both conditions, or in a child who has one but not the other. Assessing for ADHD alone risks missing autism spectrum indicators, and vice versa. A combined assessment gives parents a more complete and accurate clinical picture in a single process.
Most parents who seek an ADHD assessment for their child are responding to a pattern that has become hard to ignore — struggles at school, difficulty with friendships, meltdowns that seem disproportionate to the situation, or a teacher who has gently suggested it might be worth looking into. Often, there has already been a lot of self-doubt involved: wondering whether this is just a phase, whether other parents manage this more easily, or whether asking for an assessment means something is "wrong" with your child.
A formal assessment does not start from the assumption that something is wrong. It is a structured, clinical way of understanding how your child's brain works — what is driving the behaviours you are seeing, and what kind of support, if any, would actually help. Whether the outcome is ADHD, autism, both, or neither, you leave with a clearer picture than you had before.
One thing worth knowing before you begin: attention difficulties and specific learning difficulties often travel together, and they are not the same thing. If the struggles are concentrated in reading, writing, or maths rather than showing up across the board, a learning disability assessment is often the more direct route. And where you want the fullest picture of how your child learns — cognitive profile, academic skills, and attention examined together — a psychoeducational assessment covers that ground in a single process.
These are common patterns that lead parents to seek an assessment. Having one or more of these does not confirm a diagnosis — it means an assessment can help clarify what is actually happening.
Coach For Mind's child assessment is a single, all-inclusive process covering both ADHD and autism screening, not two separate assessments. Here is exactly what is covered:
A short call to understand your concerns and confirm the assessment is the right next step for your child.
A detailed conversation with parents or primary caregivers covering developmental history, behaviour across settings, and current concerns.
Direct interaction and observation with your child, using standardised child ADHD and autism screening tools appropriate to their age.
Both conditions are screened for in the same process, since symptoms frequently overlap and co-occur in children.
A clear written report covering findings for both ADHD and autism, suitable for sharing with schools or a psychiatrist if needed.
A dedicated session to walk parents through the findings and discuss recommended next steps.
The child ADHD and autism assessment is available both online via secure video and in-person at our Sector 70, Gurgaon clinic. The parent interview works equally well in either format. For the child assessment session itself, many families with older children (10+) find online works well; for younger children, or for more complex presentations, in-person assessment can make it easier for the assessor to observe behaviour directly. This is worth discussing during your discovery call — your assessor can help you decide what fits your child best.
ADHD screening, autism screening, and parent interview — all in one fee.
Coach For Mind's child ADHD assessment is designed for children and adolescents aged 6 to 16 years. This age range aligns with when structured ADHD assessment tools are most reliable, as symptoms in much younger children can overlap heavily with typical developmental variation.
Yes. Coach For Mind's child assessment includes both ADHD and autism screening using standardised tools, since the two conditions frequently co-occur and can present with overlapping symptoms such as difficulty with attention, social interaction, and routine. Screening for both in one assessment gives a more complete clinical picture than assessing for ADHD alone.
Yes. A structured parent interview is included as part of the assessment. Since children and adolescents may not always be able to accurately report on their own developmental history or behaviour across settings, a parent or primary caregiver's account is a clinically important part of a rigorous child ADHD and autism assessment.
Coach For Mind's child assessment, which covers both ADHD and autism screening plus a parent interview, costs ₹8,000 all-inclusive. This is higher than the adult assessment fee of ₹6,500 because it covers two conditions and an additional structured interview.
Child ADHD and autism assessments at Coach For Mind are conducted by the same RCI-registered clinical psychologists who conduct adult assessments. RCI registration is the statutory qualification required to conduct formal psychological assessments in India, for both children and adults.
Yes. The child ADHD and autism assessment can be conducted online via secure video for families outside Gurgaon, anywhere in India. The parent interview and clinical process are the same as in-person assessment. Some families prefer in-person assessment for younger children, which can be discussed during the discovery call.
After the assessment, parents receive a written report explaining the findings for both ADHD and autism screening. Depending on the outcome, recommendations may include school accommodations, therapy, structured behavioural support, or referral to a psychiatrist. The post-assessment consultation is included to walk parents through the report and next steps.
In-person at Sector 70, Gurgaon or online anywhere in India. ADHD screening, autism screening, and a parent interview — ₹8,000 all-inclusive.
