where best to test child for ADHD

[Clive]

My son lived in the uk and had major meltdowns after about 40 referrals by my GP for my son  to see a specialist  for ADHD I kind of gave us as each referral was refused without anyone seeing him. Have found out that it was a total lack of funding.
My son now lives in Thailand and I was wondering where might the best place be to have him tested for possible ADHD/behavioural issues?
Thank you

I feel I can give a good reference. "นลินี เชื้อวณิชชากร" Dr. Nalinee Cherwanitsakorn

 

Dr. Nalinee is an experienced child psychiatrist specialising in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, she was at the Bangkok Child Development Centre 6-7 years ago when I met her. I can only find her at Phyathai 1 Hospital Saturdays 9 to 16 now, That's on Si Ayutthaya Rd, central Bangkok. We only spoke Thai but I think she speaks good English

 

http://www.phyathai.com/doctorcenterdetail/12/10102370/PYT1/th. You would call 1772 and ask for Dr. Nalinee at the Child Development Clinic

 

I can highly recommend her

 

Good Luck

Manoram Hospital is also a good option

ADHD doesn't exist. The pharmaceutical companies invented it so they could make money from pumping children with drugs.

 

Have him tested for autism or aspergers syndrome instead if you want to help.

To be more helpful to your question, these questionaires used internationally might help you make a diagnosis, that would help in knowing exactly what kind of specialist to see.

The Village international education centre in Sukhumvit, Bangkok is Thailand's leading specialist in additional educational needs. Most top end international schools refer SEN students to them for diagnosis. Do not go anywhere else. This centre is the only international standard SEN centre in Thailand. Its not cheap but the standards are high. Good Luck.
