Improving the life chances of children, young people & adults with ADHD

ADHD is thought to affect between 3 and 9% of school age children.

 

Children and young people with ADHD are often inattentive which affects their ability to listen well, get started on and keep focused on tasks, and their short-term memory and time management skills. Others will also have hyperactive and impulsive traits that further compromise the above and lead to them distracting themselves and others.

​

These pervasive difficulties can result in academic under achievement or failure, poor self esteem, social and emotional problems and peer relationship issues. In 70% of cases, someone with ADHD will have a co-existing or overlapping condition e.g. ASD, Dyslexia, anxiety.

​

Having ADHD can significantly impact on the ability to engage successfully in Education, from primary school through to Higher Education.
