Detailed face-to-face assessment with Dr Kheir.
Kheir Care is a Dublin-based, Consultant-led Child & Adolescent Psychiatry service accepting referrals from across Ireland. providing face-to-face specialist assessment and treatment for children and adolescents, with particular expertise in ADHD assessment and treatment, alongside selected other child and adolescent psychiatric presentations.
Dr Alamin Kheir is a Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist and has worked at Consultant level since 2017.
He has extensive experience across community CAMHS, adolescent inpatient psychiatry and private practice, including clinical leadership, multidisciplinary care, supervision, and the assessment and treatment of a broad range of child and adolescent mental-health presentations.
Every ADHD assessment at Kheir Care is Consultant-led and includes a detailed face-to-face clinical assessment, supported by standardised Conners questionnaires and QbCheck objective assessment.
Questionnaires and objective testing provide valuable, structured information, but no single questionnaire or computer-based test can diagnose ADHD. Diagnosis is based on a comprehensive clinical assessment of the young person’s development, functioning and circumstances, together with information from relevant settings.
Where appropriate, Dr Kheir provides ongoing Consultant-led ADHD treatment tailored to the young person’s individual needs. This may include medication management and regular follow-up to review progress and adjust treatment as needed.
