The Velluto Method

Velluto is Italian for velvet. We took the one process that’s hardest for an ADHD brain, forms, waiting, repeating your story, and made it smooth. One question at a time, from your couch, nothing asked twice. You walk in prepared.

The Velluto Method · in their words

“It’s really straightforward. It walks you through one question at a time, and answering by voice was genuinely helpful.”

“It gamified the whole thing, and wasn’t so complex it put me off giving a proper answer. Best of all, I didn’t have to keep repeating myself.”

For GPs

Interested in ADHD assessments?

ADHD assessment is time-consuming. Collecting a thorough history, chasing observer reports, screening for co-existing conditions. Most of that can happen before the patient walks in.

Many GPs worry about medicolegal risk. Getting the assessment wrong. Missing a differential. Prescribing without adequate documentation. Velluto handles the structured intake, observer reports, and clinical summary before the appointment. Your consultation time is spent on the patient, not data collection.

If you are a GP interested in offering ADHD assessments with structured clinical support, we would like to hear from you.
