What We Do?
The Scottish ADHD Coalition was set up in 2017 to bring together the leaders of voluntary organisations providing support to adults and children with ADHD in Scotland, and their parents, carers and families.
The idea of the coalition came from a meeting held in Dundee in April 2016 where ADHD support groups across Scotland came together for the first time. The groups shared the many excellent services they are offering – including running youth groups, delivering training for parents and adults with ADHD, enabling peer to peer support and offering information and signposting.
About ADHD
ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder which interferes with the way a child develops in, and interacts with, his or her environment. ADHD is a long term disorder which in most cases persists into adulthood.
ADHD is characterised by 3 groups of symptoms which, for a diagnosis, must be so severe that they lead to significant impairment in a person’s life and must have been present before the age of 12.
