Parent Toolkit

Preparing for Your Child's ADHD Assessment

A practical parent toolkit from first concerns to referral and assessment

If you are concerned that your child may have ADHD, it can be difficult to know what information to collect, who to speak to and what happens after a referral. This 25-page toolkit, created by Dr Inyang Takon, helps parents organise concerns and prepare for each stage of the ADHD referral and assessment process.
