Understanding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can impact a child's ability to focus, manage impulses, and regulate their energy.

Presentations of ADHD (as recognised by the DSM V-TR):

Predominantly Inattentive Presentation

Often involves difficulty focusing, inattentiveness, and forgetfulness.

Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Presentation

Often involves excessive talking, frequent fidgeting, or acting on impulse.

Combined Presentation

Many young people present with a Combined Presentation.

It's important to remember that while ADHD presents certain challenges, with understanding and tailored support strategies, children with ADHD can flourish and embrace their neurodiversity. Early intervention can help children develop essential skills and lead to a brighter, more fulfilling future.
