ADHD Assessment & Diagnosis in Cork

Cork falls under CHO Area 4 (Cork & Kerry), which operates the National Clinical Programme for ADHD. While this is a positive development, demand for these services in areas like North Lee and South Lee is incredibly high, leading to significant delays for public assessments.

The Solution: By choosing ADHD Now, you are not restricted by the availability of a single local doctor. Our national network of clinicians allows Cork residents to secure an appointment in weeks, not months, entirely from home.

If you are studying in Cork, a formal diagnosis is the "golden ticket" to accessing vital exam accommodations and learning supports. ADHD Now provides the recognised clinical reports you need.

• University College Cork (UCC): To register with the Disability Support Service (DSS) in The Hub, you must provide evidence of a disability. Our Psychologist and Psychiatrist reports meet the strict criteria required by UCC to grant you extra exam time or assistive technology.
• Munster Technological University (MTU): Similarly, the DSS at the Bishopstown campus requires a report from a qualified professional. An assessment with ADHD Now ensures you have the correct documentation to present to your disability officer before exam deadlines approach.

Cork is the largest county in Ireland, and travelling to a city-centre clinic isn't always easy or feasible.

• Skip the Travel: If you live in Bantry, Skibbereen, Fermoy, or Mallow, a trip to a physical clinic in Cork City can take half a day. With our service, you avoid the N40 traffic and the Dunkettle Interchange completely.
• Comfort & Privacy: Many patients feel more open and relaxed when speaking from their own living room rather than a clinical office setting.

Once you have your diagnosis from ADHD Now, you are ready to engage with the thriving local community for peer support (which is distinct from clinical treatment).

• Social Meetups: Groups like the Cork Adult Neurodiverse Community often host casual meetups at locations like the Marina Market. These are great places to share experiences after you have understood your neurotype through a professional assessment.
• ADHD Ireland (Cork): The national body has a strong presence in Cork, historically offering talks and support groups for families and adults in areas like Blackrock.
