ADHD taskforce report
An independent taskforce set up to tackle challenges in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) care has published its interim report and recommendations. The report describes that the rates of recognised ADHD in England are lower than the expected prevalence and stresses the need for timely access to needs-based support. To improve early access to this support, it suggests offering practical help to people showing signs of ADHD, before referral or while waiting for assessment, such as coaching, classroom tools and parenting advice.
