School suspects ADHD

[Whattodo127845]

Hi

I've had a few meetings with the school for my DS5 (Year 1) and they have suggested an Individual Healthcare Plan as they suspect ADHD.

They recommended I book a GP appointment for an official referral. Just feel a bit overwhelmed and not sure how to best support my little one?

Since they first mentioned it about 9 months ago, I did some research and in fact saw a lot of the traits in myself and have since received a combined ADHD diagnosis. I just thought I was always like this.

I just want to do what's right for my little one.

I would suggest you probably
follow their advice and seek a GP appointment moment. More so since you have now been diagnosed yourself.

what has held you back from doing this so far? It’s been 9 months across 2 academic years and different teachers.
