Description

ACE+V.2v.2 is a semi-structured diagnostic interview used to assess ADHD in young people and adults.  Susan demonstrates how she uses this diagnostic interview to assess for ADHD in an adult male. The ACE+V.2v.2 has been updated to fall in line with the ICD-11 and small tweaks from DSM-5-TR. The SASC guidance strongly recommends that this diagnostic interview data is collected alongside an assessment report to make an onward referral to a clinical expert.

Learning outcomes

  • Identifying ADHD in young people (sixth form and college/uni education) and adults (either for diagnostic purposes or for onward referral to an onward clinician)
  • Recognising that comorbidities may exist in addition to ADHD
  • Recognising that other factors may be the reason for the person’s hyperactive/impulsive or inattentive behaviour
  • Using the ACE+V.2 interview as part of a diagnostic picture to inform a clinical decision
