How We Assess
ADHD in Early Childhood
Noticing something feels different about your child’s attention, behaviour, or development can bring up a lot of questions. Our early childhood assessments are purpose-built for little ones, giving us a clear picture of what’s happening and helping us provide your family with the right support at the right time.
Behavioural & Developmental Screening
Conners EC
Conners Early Childhood Assessment

Our early childhood assessments are purpose-built for little ones, giving us a clear picture of what’s happening and helping us provide your family with the right support at the right time.
Behavioural & Developmental Screening
Conners 4
Conners 4th Edition (Conners 4)
Conners 4 is a trusted ADHD assessment tool that gathers information about a child’s attention, behaviour and executive functioning from multiple sources— typically parents, teachers and in some cases the child themselves. It provides norm‑referenced rating scales that allow clinicians to compare a child’s behaviour to that of others in the same age group, helping to show how closely their patterns match symptoms associated with ADHD and common co‑occurring challenges like impulsivity and hyperactivity.

What does a Paediatric psychologist actually do?
A Paediatric psychologist works with children and their families to better understand a child’s emotional, behavioural and developmental challenges and teaches them strategies to cope. This may involve play based activities, conversational therapy or structured assessments that are tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, the goal is to build a clearer picture of your child’s needs. From there, psychologists help children develop practical strategies to manage their emotions. They also work closely with parents and caregivers, so the strategies used in sessions can carry through into everyday life.
At HealthSync Care, psychologists are part of a broader multidisciplinary team, working alongside paediatricians and allied health professionals to ensure your child receives coordinated, well-rounded care.
When should a child see a psychologist?
Children experience a wide range of emotions and behaviours as part of their development. It may be worth speaking with a psychologist when those experiences begin to feel overwhelming, persist over time, or start to impact your child’s day-to-day life.
This might include ongoing anxiety, significant difficulties with attention or emotional regulation, frequent challenges with friendships, or ongoing changes in mood, sleep or behaviour. It can also be helpful to seek guidance when something significant has changed in your child’s environment, or when you feel unsure how best to support them. A psychologist can help you better understand what your child is experiencing and provide strategies that support their development.
At what age should a child see a psychologist?
There is no single “right” age for a child to see a psychologist. Support can be helpful at any stage of development, from early childhood through to adolescence, depending on your child’s needs.
For younger children, sessions are often play-based and focus on helping them express and regulate their emotions in a way that feels natural to them. As children grow, therapy may include more structured conversations and skill-building strategies that support independence and emotional understanding.
What matters most is not age, but whether your child is experiencing difficulties that are significantly impacting their wellbeing or daily life.
