Autism and ADHD can influence the way children communicate, learn, concentrate, interact with others and respond to their environment.

Some children may experience sensory differences, difficulties with attention or challenges with transitions and routines. At the same time, they may have significant strengths such as creativity, strong interests, problem-solving skills or excellent attention to subjects they enjoy.

Understanding each child’s individual profile is important. Rather than focusing only on difficulties, effective support should recognise strengths and create environments where children can participate and develop confidently.
