At Cynffig we support pupils with ADHD by providing them with individual strategies that are tailored to their needs. Some pupils might need a time out card for ‘fidget breaks’, others might need to use digital technology to help them organise their work and present their ideas. Pupils with ADHD will be allowed to sit exams in a quiet room with frequent rest breaks.
If you feel that your child has characteristics of ADHD and their behaviour is having an impact on their learning and wellbeing, you may wish to refer them for a diagnosis.
A referral is made by the school to the Neuro-developmental Pathway (the ND Pathway). Details are below.
For more information on the standard timeline of actions which would take place following an ND pathway referral, please see link below.
Below are a list of organisations that can offer advice and guidance if you have concerns around ADHD.
