Summary

Chapter 21 discusses how children and young people with difficulties with attention and activity levels can best be supported. We also discuss how the diagnoses of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are made and how these conditions can be treated. We examine both behaviour and medication strategies and support at school and at home.
