Preamble:

The summit came about by the frustration experienced by one of the local mothers who has a difficult child assessed as having ADHD. Among many emotions, Diana Scott-Waine experienced confusion, anxiety & a general lack of hope as she tried to understand the varying treatments available and decide what direction to take. Diana reasoned that if her experience was a reflection of people in her position she would like to try and simplify their journey by giving them support

 The Summit Mission:

  1. Reduce confusion and anxiety by increasing the knowledge (of those who attend) about the assessment, diagnosis process, and the various treatments that are available
  2. Increase hope for sufferers and carers of those with ADHD and connecting conditions by understanding that it is possible to live a fruitful life, with a disability, by listening to the experiences of affected people who have achieved it.
  3. Development of an effective model which can be used to increase support and hope for those people who are effected by ADHD throughout NSW and Australia
  4. The formation of a support organisation to help those people touched by ADHD and connecting conditions on the Central Coast
  5. Improvement in the understanding of councils together with state and federal governments towards the people affected with ADHD in the legal system
