Hi halasz
You need a referral to the Developmental Paediatric team at St Georges under Dr Keene and Dr Haywood.
You should be able to get this from your GP, the school SENCO or school Ed Psych, or the Early Years Centre. Preferably all three as that may speed things up if your keen to get the ball rolling.
The department will then assess your child via a series of questionnaires completed by a number of people (yourself, teachers, etc) and diagnose or otherwise.
Both of my boys, now aged 10 and 8, have ADHD and I've worked my way through that system so PM if you want more info.
