Everyday capture
A 30-second entry in your own words. Note a concern, a strength, or how an ordinary day went — with the date it happened.
For UK families awaiting an assessment
A calm place to gather what an assessment will need.
You're waiting for an NHS ADHD or autism assessment for your child. That wait is long. While it lasts, Groundwork helps you notice, capture and organise the everyday things the team will ask for — at your own pace.
Works on your phone alone · no sign-in needed
Groundwork helps you gather what an assessment needs. It never diagnoses — that's the clinician's job.
Evidence, never verdicts
It organises what you notice. It never scores your child or gives an answer.
Private by design
Your record lives on your phone and works offline. Nothing is shared without you.
Family-owned
You own the evidence pack. You choose who sees it, and you can take a share back.
Calm, never alarming
No streaks, no scores, no pressure. A quiet tool for a stressful wait.
How it works
Four calm steps, at your own pace
From a small note on an ordinary evening to a clear pack the clinician can actually use.
Step 1
Notice
Something stands out on an ordinary day — a strength, a struggle, a moment worth remembering.
Step 2
Capture
Jot it down in your own words in about 30 seconds. Add a date. Works offline, no sign-in.
Step 3
Organise
Groundwork sorts your notes into a clear picture over time — strengths first, provenance kept.
Step 4
Share
Hand a referral-ready pack to the clinician — only with your consent, and revocable.
What's inside
Built around what families actually carry
A handful of calm surfaces, each doing one honest job well.
A picture over time
Watchful-waiting made simple. See how things sit across weeks and months — described, never scored or ranked.
Parent + teacher, side by side
Invite a teacher or another parent to add their view. Both voices go to the team as they are — never averaged.
Appointment prep & debrief
Walk in ready with the questions worth asking and what you most want understood. Afterwards, capture what was said.
A referral-ready pack
One clear document — strengths first, with provenance on every note and an honest account of what's still missing.
Support, always one tap away
A calm route to help is on every screen and works offline — for the moments a long wait gets heavy.
Discrepancy is information
Different settings see different children
Parents and teachers often describe the same child quite differently. That isn't a mistake by either of you — and it's exactly what an assessment needs to know.
Groundwork keeps each voice whole and shows them side by side. Nothing is added up, corrected, or blended into a single number.

Both views travel to the team as they are.
Groundwork is not a diagnostic tool, a test, or a screener that gives a verdict. It does not diagnose, detect, or predict whether a child has ADHD or autism, and it does not give a score as an answer. It helps you gather and organise evidence; the clinician owns the judgement. Groundwork is in development and preparing for launch — it is not yet available on the App Store or Google Play.
