SaskADHD · STG Health
Support that takes account of your child’s age, strengths and needs, along with family and school life.
At a glance
Child and teen clinical intake uses a waitlist. Suitability and availability are reviewed individually; joining does not guarantee a start date.
Parenting ADHD is a separate STG Health service for caregivers of children aged 3–14. No ADHD diagnosis is required. Its own intake and availability apply.
Children and adolescents need care matched to development, communication, family circumstances and school demands. Caregivers are active partners; the young person’s perspective, strengths and capacity also matter.
The plan may involve home routines, school supports, skills, psychotherapy, parenting work or medical coordination. Contact with schools and other providers requires appropriate consent. The clinic reviews what can be delivered remotely and when in-person or specialist assessment is needed.
A practical pathway
The process is designed to produce a usable plan rather than a report that stops at diagnosis.
01
Gather caregiver, child or teen, school and clinical perspectives where appropriate.
02
Use developmentally appropriate measures, interview and functional information.
03
Identify home, school, emotional, behavioural and medical priorities.
04
Track function and revise supports as demands, development and treatment response change.
Treatment options
Recommendations depend on age, impairment, family capacity and the primary mechanism.
Parents
A separate STG service helps parents and caregivers with routines, requests, transitions, emotional regulation, behaviour and connection.
Young person
Support emotion, communication, problem-solving, self-understanding and age-appropriate executive function.
System
Clarify accommodations, communication and the role of medication or allied services when indicated.
Clinical review
Responsible care includes identifying limits and referring when the child’s needs fall outside the service scope.
Urgent
Crisis, acute risk or medical emergencies require immediate local services rather than routine intake.
Specialized
A broader psychological, speech-language, occupational or medical assessment may be recommended.
Ongoing
Medication may be initiated or reviewed in a defined pathway, but ongoing prescribing requires an appropriate continuing provider.
What is assessed
ADHD should not be inferred from one difficult environment or one symptom list.
Child
Family
School
Clinical team
Support connects the young person, caregivers, school context and clinical team. Coordination depends on clinical need and appropriate consent.
Home
Morning, homework, meals, transitions, sibling interactions and the recovery after conflict.
School
Attention, work completion, organization, behaviour, communication and the fit between supports and expectations.
Development
Language, learning, sleep, anxiety, mood, sensory patterns and developmental differences that may overlap.
Child and teen intake currently uses a waitlist. Our clinicians cap the total number of families we work with so that each family can get the appropriate amount of support. Contact us about current capacity and the route appropriate to the child’s age and needs. A waitlist request does not guarantee a start date or acceptance into a particular service.
Not always, but school information is often valuable because ADHD must be understood across settings. Any contact requires appropriate consent.
Some components may be delivered remotely, while age, complexity and clinical purpose determine whether additional in-person or external assessment is needed.
That is common and important. Plans should reduce working-memory demands for the entire household and include realistic recovery after routines break down.
No. Medication is one possible component. The intervention plan may also prioritize parent work, school supports, psychotherapy, skills, sleep or other services.
Child and teen clinical care uses a separate intake waitlist. Completing it is a request for review, not a confirmed appointment. If your main goal is help as a parent or caregiver of a child aged 3–14, Parenting ADHD offers a separate parent-focused pathway. An ADHD diagnosis is not required.
Share the child’s age, main concerns and the support being requested. If you are mainly seeking parent-focused support, use the separate Parenting ADHD intake pathway.
