What you'll get
The same skill areas an occupational therapist maps when assessing school readiness.
Across the 12 skill areas that carry the load of high school: getting started, attention and focus, working memory, planning the week, time management, keeping track of things, sleep, food and movement, big feelings and bounce-back, self-knowledge and speaking up, sensory load, puberty and the cycle, running their own day.
Every area that needs attention explained simply, with one clear place to start.
Which professionals to reach out to if more support is needed.
Take it again and see what has strengthened and what else might need support.
A note from Shelley

I was that ADHD kid. I know what the jump to high school asks of them, and I know how much easier it is when the grown-ups can see it coming.
I built the screener so families can see the road to high school clearly, and start early, without waiting months for an appointment to do it. And if your child is already in the early years of high school and finding a few areas hard, it works just as well there.
How it works
48 quick questions about your child's everyday life. "Not yet" is a completely fine answer, and there are no wrong ones.
Your snapshot shows what is already going strong and where deliberate attention pays off next.
One clear starting point for each of your top areas, in an order that makes sense. Not everything at once, ever.
Everything included
One-time payment · Instant access · Reusable every term
No. It's an educational tool for parents and carers: it maps skills, not conditions, and no diagnosis is needed to use it. Diagnosed, waitlisted, or just wondering about the jump to high school, it's built for you.
The screener maps skills every child needs for high school, so it works for any child. It's designed with ADHD brains in mind, which makes it especially clear-eyed about the skills that wobble under load, but nothing in it requires a diagnosis.
Kids in Year 4 through Year 8. All genders welcome. Already started high school? Years 7 and 8 are squarely in range, and the snapshot shows you where to focus now.
Yes, that's the design. Retake it each term on the same device and it shows you what has strengthened since last time. One purchase, yours to reuse.
Completely. Your answers are processed on your own device and never sent to or stored by ADHD & Her.
The screener opens the moment your payment goes through, and the link is in your receipt email. Bookmark it. Open it on any device, whenever suits.
The High School Readiness Screener is an educational self-reflection tool for parents and carers. It is not a clinical assessment, diagnostic instrument or health service, and it is not a substitute for individualised advice from your child's GP, paediatrician or treating team.
