ADHD Support: Children & Adults
ADHD affects attention, impulse control, and executive function. Allied health supports practical strategies for school, work, and home — often alongside medical management.
Overview
Psychologists provide behaviour strategies and emotional regulation. OT helps with organisation, sensory needs, and daily routines. Speech pathology may support language and social communication when co-occurring.
Executive function
Planning, task initiation, and time management are common OT and psychology targets.
School and work
Structured supports that translate goals into repeatable routines beat generic advice.
