Condition Overview

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that affect learning, friendships, and daily routines.

Early Signs & Observations

  • Difficulty sustaining focus on age-appropriate play or homework
  • Frequent fidgeting, restlessness, or leaving seats unexpectedly
  • Acting impulsively without considering safety or waiting turns
  • Losing school supplies and forgetting multi-step instructions

Age-Related Considerations

High energy is normal in toddlers, so formal ADHD evaluation typically becomes clearer from age 4–6 onward when structured preschool and primary school expectations begin.

When to Seek Assessment

Consider an assessment if attention or impulse difficulties persist for more than six months across both home and school environments and impact learning or relationships.

Assessment & Diagnostic Approach

Our team uses multi-informant rating scales (such as Conners-4 parent and teacher profiles), clinical observation, and pediatric medical review to rule out sleep, vision, hearing, or sensory contributors.

Available Therapy & Intervention Options

Behavioural Therapy, executive-function coaching, Occupational Therapy for sensory regulation, and structured parent-teacher coordination.

Role of Parents & Caregivers

Establish predictable routines, break tasks into short timed chunks with movement breaks, and use clear positive reinforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every active child diagnosed with ADHD?

No. Many active young children simply have high energy or sensory needs. Comprehensive evaluation distinguishes normal developmental energy from persistent ADHD patterns.
