Exploratory and qualitative in nature, this study aimed to identify the subjective experiences of Chinese parents with a child suspected of or diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in problem identification and management of the child, and to explore if the educational and mental health professionals have actively involved the parents in the decision-making process. A total of 24 parents/caregivers participated in this study. Data were collected through focus-group interviews and in-depth family interviews. Emerging from the data were seven major themes capturing the Chinese parents/caregivers’ experience, with three themes in problem identification and four in helping the child. Implications of this study on our service development are discussed
