Getting an ADHD assessment in Cork usually means a long wait in the public system or navigating a crowded private market. MindPath offers a clearer route - a Pre-Assessment you can start today, then a specialist ADHD assessment with a PSI accredited clinician, all delivered online.
Cork’s public services are stretched, with Children’s Disability Network Team vacancies high and primary-care waiting lists long. MindPath gives Cork families a clinically rigorous alternative without the years of waiting. Assessed online from Douglas, Ballincollig, Mallow or anywhere in the county.
Our assessments use a structured clinical interview and validated ADHD rating scales, and the reports are written to the standards that third-level disability services, schools and GPs expect. Students at University College Cork (UCC) and Munster Technological University (MTU) can use them to register for exam accommodations and learning support.
A diagnosis is the beginning, not the end. MindPath’s aftercare - therapy, coaching and, where appropriate, psychiatry and medication review - supports you long after your report, wherever you are in Cork city and county.
A simple, neuro-affirming pathway you can complete from home in Cork.
