For children in North West Sydney

At HealthSync Care, we understand how overwhelming it can be for parents who are concerned about their child’s attention, behaviour, or emotional regulation. That’s why we offer experience-led ADHD assessments and personalised ADHD support to help families find clarity and confidence moving forward.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) typically appears in early childhood. It affects around 10% of people and can impact key areas of daily life, including learning, friendships, and emotional wellbeing. Common signs of ADHD in children include:

  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Being easily distracted
  • Acting without thinking
  • Finding it hard to stay still or wait their turn.

Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation process is designed to provide a clear understanding of your child’s unique needs. We assess how ADHD may be affecting executive functioning, the mental skills that help people plan, focus, manage emotions, and complete tasks. These challenges can often lead to frustration at home and at school or work if left unaddressed.

At HealthSync Care, our experienced clinicians work closely with families to provide accurate ADHD diagnoses, tailored recommendations, and ongoing support. Whether you’re just starting to explore if your child may have ADHD or you’re seeking a second opinion, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Types of ADHD

ADHD is commonly categorised into three types, each presenting with its own unique characteristics:

Combined Presentation

When a person exhibits a combination of symptoms, including hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity.

Predominantly Inattentive Presentation

A person experiences challenges with focusing, sustaining attention, and staying organised.

Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation

When someone exhibits multiple characteristics of impulsivity and hyperactivity.

Our Assessment Process

Step 1: Initial ADHD Evaluation Appointment

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your journey begins with a detailed appointment with our psychologist. This initial ADHD assessment session allows us to gather essential background information to better understand your child’s developmental and behavioural profile. We explore:

  • Developmental History – Reviewing key milestones and any relevant background that may help in understanding your child’s needs.
  • Current Concerns – Identifying challenges your child is currently facing at home, school, or in social settings.
  • Environmental Influences – Considering how home, school, or community environments may impact your child’s behaviour and functioning.
  • Mental Health History – Evaluating emotional wellbeing and any prior mental health concerns.

Step 2: ADHD-Specific Tests and Tools

ADHD-Specific Testing and Assessment Tools

As part of the diagnostic process, we use evidence-based tools such as the Conners 4 ADHD assessment—a gold standard in ADHD testing for children and adolescents. This tool helps us gain a detailed understanding of attention, impulse control, and behavioural patterns.

Step 3: Report Preparation and Interpretation

Report Preparation and Interpretation

After the assessment is completed, our psychologists:

  • Score and analyse the test results
  • Integrate background history and behavioural observations
  • Prepare a comprehensive, easy-to-understand written report

Step 4: Results Review Session

Results Review Session

Once the initial ADHD evaluation is complete, our psychologist will meet with you to:

  • Review Recommendations – Go over tailored strategies and next steps based on your child’s unique profile.
  • Answer Questions – Address any concerns you may have about your child’s behaviour, development, or possible diagnosis.
  • Suggest Interventions – Provide practical, age-appropriate supports that can be implemented at home or school. This session empowers families with the knowledge and resources to support their child effectively.

Step 5: Specialist Review and ADHD Diagnosis

Specialist Review and ADHD Diagnosis

The final stage involves a review appointment with our experienced paediatrician, who will:

  • Review All Findings – Carefully consider all information gathered during the assessment process.
  • Discuss the Diagnosis – Clearly explain the outcome of the evaluation and discuss the diagnosis (if applicable) with you and your child.
  • Provide Next Steps – Offer recommendations for ongoing therapy, educational support, or medical treatment if required.
