Concerned about a child’s focus, activity levels, or impulsivity? Our specialist clinic provides comprehensive information, assessments, and support for children with ADHD. We offer guidance for parents, teachers, and anyone involved in a child’s life who wants to understand and help them thrive.

Recognising Potential ADHD: Common Signs and Symptoms in Children

If you’re noticing persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity in a child you care for, you may be considering whether ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) could be a factor. Understanding the common signs and symptoms of ADHD in children is the first step towards seeking appropriate support. These can include difficulties with focus and concentration, being easily distracted, excessive fidgeting and restlessness, talking excessively, interrupting others, and difficulty waiting their turn.

It’s essential to remember that every child is unique, and these symptoms can manifest in different ways. We aim to provide you with clear information and guidance to help you understand what might be happening and when professional assessment could be beneficial.

Comprehensive ADHD Assessments for Children: Finding Clarity and a Path Forward

If you have concerns about a child and suspect ADHD, a thorough and professional assessment is crucial for obtaining a clear diagnosis and developing an effective support plan. Our experienced child psychologists and psychiatrists conduct comprehensive ADHD assessments for children of all ages. This process typically involves detailed interviews with parents or guardians, questionnaires for parents and teachers, direct observation of the child, and sometimes cognitive and educational assessments.

Our aim is to gain a holistic understanding of the child’s developmental history, current challenges, and strengths to determine if their difficulties meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. A clear diagnosis can open the door to appropriate interventions and support at home and in school.
