The Child Development Service in Perth has created a suite of new, online resources to provide consistent, evidence-based information to families who have concerns about their child’s attention, regulation and concentration skills, as well as to families who have a child with a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD.
Developed by clinicians with input from the community, including Aboriginal and multicultural families, these resources include lived experience of caregivers across topics including:
- Parent education: Ways to support attention, regulation and concentration
- School resources: Helping your child focus in the classroom
- Home resources: Developing healthy screen time habit
- ADHD resources: Talking about ADHD with your child.
Key resources have been translated into 10 languages.
This is part of a broader update of the Child Development Service webpages, which now provide clearer, more user-friendly information and resources to families who have concerns about their child’s development.
