ADHD Solutions is a charitable organisation based in Leicester, we are centrally placed to allow us to help families, and professionals anywhere, cope with the challenges of ADHD. We are currently supporting over 4500 families.

ADHD Solutions is an independent initiative set up to support children young people and adults who have ADHD, their families, and the professionals who are working with them.

For some this will be empowering parents to restore balance in their home by implementing our behaviour management programme.

For others it may be that we work with a child's school to prevent exclusion and enable them to reach their full potential.

Adolescents often need help and support with understanding their ADHD, life skills, social and study skills, anger management, and preparation for the transition to the adult world.

Our adult clients have often found themselves struggling with organisation, time management and their finances, which can have disastrous consequences both at home and in the work place. By concentrating on individual strengths and identifying areas of concern, we can help our clients overcome these challenges and develop strategies and solutions to become successful partners and parents, hold down a job, become solvent financially, and become successful in all areas of their life.

We aim to provide professionals with factual. well researched, up to date information about ADHD to enable them to have a clearer understanding of the difficulties faced by someone with the condition and a range of strategies to use.

Ian Hall - ADHD Specialist Coach

Ian is passionate about helping to increase people's knowledge and understanding about what ADHD is and empowering them to feel better equipped to support children and young people. I've enjoyed the challenge 2020 brought to deliver our training virtually, which has been really effective for so many people.

Ian was diagnosed with ADHD back in September 2019 at the age of 55, and believes having ADHD is hugely positive and that it's something we can 'grow into' i.e. developing strategies (with help) to manage its challenges more effectively - so that we can make the most of our amazing skills and talents that come from being different.

Outside of work DIY keeps Ian busy. From time to time, he also performs stand-up comedy for families as half of Wigston's Favourite (only) Dad and Daughter Double Act with his daughter Niamh.
