Dr Nancy Sadka was invited to present her latest work at the Global ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Conference 2026.
About the presentation: What does ADHD look like before we call it ADHD? This presentation brings together two approaches: network analysis exploring early pattern of ADHD-related traits in Autistic toddlers with high and low ADHD profiles, and AI-driven machine learning to identify early predictors of later ADHD. These findings offer insights towards a developmental framework for understanding ADHD in the early years, before diagnosis.
Dr Nancy Sadka is a Research Fellow at La Trobe University’s Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC), focusing on early identification of ADHD and autism. She is passionate about translating research into meaningful impact across communities through research-to-practice pathways.
