Hi,
My husband may accept a postion in Amberely. We have a 9 year old daughter. Does Australia have help for children with ADHD? Do the schools provide accommodations? I read somewhere that Australia ranked 23 out of the 25 to industrial nations in terms of schools. Is this your experience? What is a good community to live in between Brisbane and Amberely. P.S. We are for the LA in the US and though I’d like a to relax a bit more I do enjoy being social and having people nearby. Thanks
Australia ranked 23 out of the 25 for schools? I don’t think so! Take a look at this page….

I live in Brisbane’s Western Suburbs, they are between Amberley and Brisbane and I love it here. That would be my recommendation, but you may need to go to wherever they have the best support for ADHD, although I don’t know anything about that.
Maybe somebody else reading this may be able to help.
Thank you so much Bob,
This information makes me feel a little better about Australia’s educational system but not much. To be quite honest the American educational system leaves a lot to be desired. It’s very cookie cutter, teaches and rewards rote learning and not creative thinking and problem solving. In fact, it bops the creative right out of you. Studies show 98% of kids test at genius levels for creative thinking as they enter kindergarten. They sing, make things, dance and express themselves creatively. By the end of first grade we have bopped nearly 25% of the creative genius free thinkingness out of them. That’s why I’m so concerned about my daughter. She has ADHD but is extremely creative and bright. She reads and performs math well above her grade level. Her issues are organization, time management and staying on task. In the US, we have the Americans with Disabilities Act which requires her to receive appropriate and reasonable accommodations to support her challenges in school. So I would appreciate it if anyone reading this knows of simliar laws or progams in Australia, specifically Queensland to support her with that. Thank you so much again for your fast response and helpful information. It does alleviate my concerns quite a bit. I must say as a CA protective mother, I love the law about sunscreen and hats! I send her to school everyday with sunscreen! Kudos to OZ for that!
I hope someone who knows about ADHD support here in Australia helps you out. It might be an idea for you to add your question as a comment on my post about education above. It is more likely to be seen and read by someone who may be able to help you then it would be here.
Good luck!

Also, Try the Attention Deficit Disorder Association of Queensland (addaq.org.au).
Good luck!
Diana, Not sure if you will still read this comment, but your description of your daugther makes me think she might in fact be a (highly) gifted child. It would not be the first time that children are diagnosed with ADHD which in fact turn out to be very gifted children. Gifted children need special attention, extra creative or intelectual stimulation for them to succeed at school. Filure to get this can lead to kids flunking school even though they are highy gifted! Australia and especially QLD has good policies for dealing with gifted chilren, but it does of course vary from school to school.
I would strongly suggest you egt your daugther tested or at least talk to someone from a organisation dealing with gifted kids in the US.
Good luck!
