Topic
ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulsivity and organisation, in children as well as adults. The resources in this topic explain what is happening and offer strategies for home, school and daily life, including a programme for parents. They do not replace a diagnostic assessment, which is carried out by a trained professional.
