Working together to overcome the challenge…
Attention Deficiency Hyperactive Disorder affects between 2 to 5% of children in the UK. Common symptoms of ADHD include:
– a short attention span or being easily distracted
– restlessness, constant fidgeting or overactivity
– being impulsive

Unless it is recognised and treated a child’s life can be blighted.

Cardiff & the Vale Parents’ Federation is hosting an event where you’ll hear presentations from the following speakers:
Sharifah Ahmed – researcher Cardiff University: explains how recent research findings have shed light on genetic links to ADHD
Eleri Probert – Cardiff & Vale University Health Board: how the Wales NHS’ new Neuro Developmental Disorder Service may be able to help you
Marsi Kou: Living with ADHD from an adults perspective
Carly Vella: (SNAP) support with Education and Schooling

Presentations will be followed by a plenary where there will be a discussion on what support families need and how Cardiff & the Vale Parents’ Federation can help to set up this support.

Information for families will be available on the day. Places are limited so early booking is recommended. Free car parking.
