Understanding ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects a child’s ability to focus, control impulses, and manage hyperactive behaviour. Early intervention and support are crucial in helping children with ADHD thrive. At Unbound Minds, we offer a range of therapies tailored to meet the unique needs of each child.
Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD is categorised into three types: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined.
A child who has the inattentive type of ADHD may:
- Have trouble concentrating or staying focused on tasks and activities such as during classes or extended reading
- Lack attention to detail and makes many careless mistakes in school
- Not follow through on assignments and schoolwork, may start doing specific tasks but does not complete it
- Avoid or dislike tasks that require prolonged mental effort, such as filling in forms
- Be forgetful and often loses things needed for daily life, such as books or stationery
- Forget daily tasks, chores or errands
- Get distracted very easily
A child who has the hyperactive/impulsive type of ADHD may:
- Fidget easily or squirm in the seat
- Be unable to stay seated in a classroom setting
- Be unable to play or participate in leisure activities quietly
- Run around and climbs in appropriate settings
- Be overly talkative
- Blurt out answers before a question has been finished asking in conversations
- Have difficulty taking turns
- Interrupt others during conversations or intrudes on others by using other people’s things without permission
- Seem to be always ‘on the go’
