What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
Many children have difficulty concentrating, sitting still or may act before they think. However, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neuro-developmental disorder characterised by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity which causes significant difficulties throughout many aspects of a child’s life, including their family, school and social life.
ADHD is one of the most common disorders of childhood, estimated to effect 5.29% of children. Some children may experience behaviours that are consistent with ADHD, however this does not always mean that they will go on to be diagnosed with ADHD.
We are holding a parent information and awareness session to discuss your concerns on Wed 16th May.
A psychologist will also be present and will provide a screening programme for parents who have concerns.
Families of children who screen as experiencing behaviour consistent with ADHD will be offered a place on our programme.
Where can I get more information? See CAROLINE MORELLI as soon as possible as places are limited.
A community-based initiative creating a better understanding about ADHD and providing an intervention programme for families with children (3-7) experiencing behaviours consistent with ADHD
