Joint Committee On Health

Services and Supports for People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Discussion

Ms Christina Riordan:

Deputy Ward is right in that the understanding is moving on. Compared to when we started the project five years ago, the language around neurodiversity and understanding is improving. There is still a long way to go, but it is great to see things moving in that direction. It is about education and acceptance. While we work primarily with families, the work we do with professionals, teachers and educators is equally important in terms of increasing understanding. While we are a health project, it is a key piece that should not be put aside. It is about a holistic approach to ADHD.
