My dd is 7 now and she has dyspraxia and her paediatrician thinks she may also have ADHD. As she's getting older, her symptoms seem to be getting worse - she's constantly shouting and today she just opened the car door whilst it was moving. She often find it very difficult to concentrate both at home and at school and she finds it impossible to sit down and eat her dinner (one example).
It's been established that she does not have a learning difficulty but her problems affect her academic progress hugely. She's seen a Ed Psych who said her main issue is with executive functioning.
My question is, do these things sound familiar to you? And also is there anything that can be done to help children with ADHD?
