Galway Guide

ADHD Assessment in Galway

Getting an ADHD assessment in Galway 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.

Skip the Galway Waiting List

Galway spans a large, largely rural county where reaching a specialist clinic can mean a long drive. MindPath removes that entirely - an online assessment you can complete from Salthill, Oranmore, Connemara or the city, with reports recognised by University of Galway and ATU.

Reports Recognised Where They Matter

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 of Galway and Atlantic Technological University (ATU) can use them to register for exam accommodations and learning support.

Aftercare That Continues

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 Galway city and county.

How It Works
