Introduction

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) diagnosis rates are increasing, but as conditions they remain underdiagnosed. This session aimed at GPs and AHPs will help clinicians provide more inclusive, neurodiversity-informed care and better meet the needs of patients and their families.

Aims

The aim of this teaching is to increase General Practice familiarity with the recognition of ADHD and ASD, and to support children and families where these conditions are present.

Content

In this presentation we will run through:

  • Definitions
  • History and presentation of ADHD and ASD
  • Discuss the evidence base for management strategies
  • How to refer, what information is required for the referral, and how to support the children once the diagnosis has been made

Book your place today and build your confidence in providing neurodiversity-informed care.
