ADHD
What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people’s behaviour. Children and young people with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating, and may act on impulse.
Many children go through phases where they are restless or inattentive. This does not necessarily mean they have ADHD.
You should discuss your concerns with your child’s teacher, their school’s special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) or a GP if you think their behaviour may be different from most children of their age.
What signs might be seen in my child?
In children and young people there are many signs of ADHD, the most common are:
- Fidgeting and being restless in school and being continuously told by the teacher to sit down.
- Being impatient and being asked not to blurt things out.
- Friendship issues.
- Regularly losing things and forgetting things.
- Being easily distracted, leading to difficulties with academic attainment.
- Continually getting into trouble at school.
- Difficulty sleeping.
- The difficulties can lead to or be associated with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

Starting Early for a Better Tomorrow
ADHD persists throughout life, but early intervention is pivotal. Addressing ADHD in childhood offers a brighter future. Early treatment not only tackles current challenges but also lays the foundation for academic success and strong friendships.
As part of our services, schedule an initial consultation with our consultants. This will enable us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s unique needs and recommend an assessment plan.
There is no ‘cure’ for ADHD, but treatment is centred on managing the symptoms and minimising the difficulties that can arise as a result of this disorder. The treatment includes talking based therapies, coaching, optimising diet, sleep and exercise, behavioural interventions, and environmental modifications. Treatment for ADHD can be medication (stimulants or non-stimulants); however, medications will work best if given alongside other interventions and strategies.
