Providers with experience supporting ADHD
About ADHD
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) affects attention, impulse control and activity levels. It looks different from person to person. Some people are more inattentive, some more hyperactive-impulsive, and many are a mix of both. It is a recognised neurodevelopmental condition, not a matter of effort or discipline, and it commonly continues from childhood into adulthood. Some people manage well with routine, coaching and environmental adjustments. Others need more structured behavioural or therapeutic support, particularly where ADHD occurs with another condition. Under the NDIS, ADHD alone does not automatically qualify for support. Eligibility depends on the functional impact and is assessed case by case. People often look for help with executive functioning skills, routines and, where relevant, working with schools or workplaces.

Is this page medical advice?
