Could ADHD Be Behind What You’re Seeing?

When Everyday Challenges Start Affecting Your Child

Maybe your child:
  • Struggles to stay focused or follow instructions
  • Frequently forgets things or loses belongings
  • Finds homework, routines or everyday tasks hard to start or finish
  • Is restless, impulsive or always on the move
  • Becomes easily frustrated or overwhelmed
  • Has trouble managing emotions or dealing with changes
  • Struggles with friendships or school, even when trying hard

ADHD looks different in every child. Some children are very active and impulsive. Others may seem quiet, distracted or lost in their thoughts.

If these patterns stick around and affect a child’s life, an assessment can help explain what might be going on.

It May Be More Than “Not Trying Enough”

Looking Beyond Behaviour to Understand Your Child

When a child forgets homework, can’t sit still or can’t finish tasks, it’s easy to see the behaviour but not the reason behind it.

ADHD is not about being naughty, lazy or simply not concentrating.
Some children work hard to keep up. They might manage well in one place but struggle in another. Others show signs mainly when it comes to focus or staying organised.
A professional ADHD assessment for children looks at the bigger picture. It includes a child’s development, behaviour, experiences at home and school, and how the difficulties affect everyday life.
You don’t have to diagnose your child yourself. The goal of an assessment is to see if ADHD might be behind the challenges and what kind of support could help.

MyPsych offers a range of ADHD-related services to support different stages of your journey.

A Clinical Assessment Built Around Your Child

At MyPsych, we go beyond a checklist to understand how a child is experiencing things.

Developmental History

We look at a child’s development and background.

Current Presentation

We explore attention, impulsivity, activity levels and other key challenges.

School Context

We consider how a child handles different environments and daily demands.

Parent & Informant Information

We gather information from parents and, when appropriate, from teachers or others who know the child well.

Functional Impact

We understand how difficulties affect learning, relationships and everyday life.

How Your Child’s ADHD Assessment Works

A Clear, Supportive Process for Families

Your assessment is designed to develop a detailed understanding of your individual circumstances rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.

01. Initial Enquiry

Tell us about your child, your concerns and what you hope to learn from the assessment.

02. Pre-Assessment

Complete the relevant information and share background details to help the clinician get a clear picture.

03. Clinical Assessment

The child and parent or guardian meet with a clinician for a structured assessment.

04. Assessment Outcome

The clinician explains the findings clearly and answers any questions.

05. Next Steps

If helpful, guidance will be given on support or treatment options that may be suitable.

This structured process helps the clinician look at the child from different angles instead of relying on just one test or observation.
