ADHD foundation
The ADHD foundation seeks to improve the life chances of those living with and impacted by ADHD. Click icon for more detail. They offer services for several groups, including families and adults.
In 2017 they published a report looking at the impact of ADHD and what needs to be done to improve outcomes for children.
They say that people with ADHD have symptoms in several situations that consistently impact their development, education and family life. Such people face stigma, even among the medical community, despite clearly identified abnormalities in the brains of those with the condition. Up to two thirds of cases persist into adulthood and such people are often highly creative, divergent thinkers, and excellent problem solvers.*
ADHD is quite common but remains underdiagnosed and access to services and treatment in the UK is limited and inconsistent. Analysis has found that around half of children with ADHD have not been provided with access to specialist healthcare services as recommended by National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Many diagnosed with ADHD are not offered counselling, therapy or additional support in school/college after seeing a specialist. new
