Understanding ADHD - For Parents

Are you wondering if your child’s challenges with focus, energy, or emotions could be ADHD?
Unsure what to look for, or when it’s time to seek professional help?
Want to feel more confident talking with teachers and clinicians about your child’s needs?

Join us for this informative and free webinar designed for parents and caregivers who want to better understand ADHD—what it is, how it shows up in children, and how to support thriving at home and school.

This session will break down the myths and realities of ADHD in clear, accessible language, helping parents recognise signs that may indicate their child is struggling and needs additional support. You’ll also gain practical guidance on how to navigate assessments, what questions to ask teachers, psychologists, and doctors, and how to advocate effectively for your child’s needs in educational and clinical settings.

Topics include:

• What ADHD is—and what it isn’t
• Common signs and behaviours to look out for at home and school
• When to seek help and what the assessment process involves
• How to talk to teachers and clinicians about your child’s needs
