Condition
ADHD
Difficulties with attention, impulse control and activity level.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affects the brain's executive functions: sustaining attention, controlling impulses, organising work and regulating activity. It is not caused by poor parenting or screen time alone, and it responds well to structured behavioural, educational and psychological support.
Early signs
- Cannot sustain attention on tasks
- Highly distractible and forgetful
- Constant movement, cannot stay seated
- Interrupts and struggles to wait
- Careless mistakes in schoolwork
How it is diagnosed
- Parent and teacher rating scales (Conners / Vanderbilt)
- Psychological and cognitive assessment
- Ruling out learning disability and anxiety
Our approach
- Orange combines psychology-led assessment with behaviour therapy, OT regulation work and practical routines for home and classroom, so that changes are seen where they matter most.
