SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — [September 24, 2026]— ADHD Lifespan Clinic & Training Academy co-founder Amy Cheung will explore how a connected ecosystem of clinicians, teachers, families and digital supports can improve outcomes for people with ADHD throughout their lifespan when she presents at the 2026 Global ADHD Conference on 2 October.
Her presentation, “ADHD Doesn't Happen One Hour Every Six Months: Building Support Between Appointments,” will look beyond the consulting room at the everyday environments in which ADHD is experienced, including home, school, work and community settings.

Traditional healthcare is often structured around appointments. For people living with ADHD, however, most of life happens between those appointments.

Amy will discuss how clinicians, families, educators, employers and technology can contribute to a more connected approach to support, while recognising that each person’s circumstances and support needs are different.

“An appointment is one part of the ADHD journey, but it is not where the journey ends,” said Amy. “The real question is what support looks like in the days, weeks and months between appointments, and how the people around someone with ADHD can contribute to that support.”

Amy say: “Treatment is important. Ongoing support changes lives”.

The presentation draws on ADHD Lifespan Clinic & Training Academy’s experience working across different stages of the ADHD journey and its developing education programs for professionals, educators and families.

This includes training designed to build practical understanding of ADHD in different settings. The Academy’s education work currently includes professional learning for teachers, with further courses and resources being developed for parents and other groups involved in supporting people with ADHD.

The broader approach reflects the reality that ADHD does not sit within a single part of a person’s life. A child may move between clinical care, home and school, while an adult may need to navigate healthcare alongside family responsibilities and employment. Different people in those environments may each have a role to play in providing informed, consistent support.
The presentation will also consider the potential role of digital tools in connecting support between appointments, alongside the importance of human relationships and practical understanding.

The Global ADHD Conference is a free online event bringing together experts and people with lived experience from around the world. The 2026 conference runs across 28 hours on 1–2 October, following the sun across multiple time zones.
