What is ADHD?

 

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental difference marked by persistent patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity that are not in line with what is typically expected for a child’s developmental stage.

For a diagnosis to be made, these behaviours must be present across settings (e.g., home and school) and significantly impact the child’s day-to-day functioning — whether in learning, relationships, or emotional wellbeing.

Children with ADHD may:

  • Struggle with concentration, memory, or task initiation

  • Be impulsive, active, or constantly ‘on the go’

  • Daydream, forget things, or appear disorganised

  • Experience emotional highs and lows

  • Mask well in structured settings but collapse at home

While we do not offer ADHD medication, our assessments provide a full diagnostic picture and recommendations tailored to home, school, and wellbeing.
