Joint Committee On Health
Services and Supports for People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Discussion
Dr. Sonia Morris:
That happens. The NHS has also trialled neurodivergence teams. Hull and Reading have teams that cover ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia - basically, any neurodivergence or sensory processing issue. Those teams are multidisciplinary and are similar to CAMHS, but they only cover neurodivergences. It is a lovely model of service provision. I spoke about how there was significant co-occurrence. I am sure that the Joint Committee on Autism did not escape talking about ADHD, given that there is a 30% overlap between the two.
