  • Do you see children with ADHD?

ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental health conditions among Australian youth and can affect a child’s ability to focus, listen, and sit still. These challenges can impact their social skills, emotional well-being, and academic performance. Early intervention is key to managing symptoms and preventing further difficulties, such as depression or anxiety. We also support children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which involves attention difficulties without hyperactivity.
