Supporting Young People with ADHD: School Support Matters alongside Parent support
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For many families, navigating the education system when a child is struggling is a daunting experience. A recent survey revealed that around one-third of UK parents have requested a Special Educational Needs (SEN) assessment for their child. The most common reasons include neurodivergence such as Autism, ADHD, and speech and language difficulties.But despite the urgent need, many families face long delays—sometimes waiting over a year—for their child to be assessed. This means that young people who are already finding school life challenging may miss out on the support they need to thrive.
Often parents relate to the struggles of their children and are curious whether their needs are related to neurodivergence too. At Atrium Clinic, we work with parents to unpick their own relationship with Autism or ADHD when a formal assessment might not offer them direct benefits, but they want to understand themselves better for their parenting role too.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Get in Touch” margin_top=”30″ url=”/contact-and-social/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”60″ bottom_padding=”60″ left_padding_desktop=”7%” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”7%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]
