'I Have ADHD': Exploring Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Children's Workbook

This workbook has been designed to support children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to explore and share with others what it is like to have ADHD.
The booklet invites young people to explore what being ADHD looks and feels like for them personally as we recognise that this is different for every individual. It can be customised to suit individual young people and specific needs by removing or including specific activity sheets.
The workbook serves as an interactive guide to help children understand ADHD, track their symptoms, learn skills to help cope with being ADHD, and communicate how it affects them. By providing a positive and supportive space for children with ADHD to learn about it and develop effective strategies, the “I Have ADHD” workbook is a vital tool for helping children living with and managing ADHD.
