Neurodiversity Support
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, which stands for ‘Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder’. Let’s explore what ADHD actually is and some of the characteristics you need to be aware of.
Neurodiversity is a term used to describe the naturally occurring variations of the human brain, with 1 in 5 people having a neurodevelopmental condition.

Important Update
ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity is no longer offering pre-diagnostic ADHD assessments. Whilst this may be disappointing for those seeking assessment, the charity will continue to champion that these services should be more readily accessible through the NHS and to raise awareness around the condition.
Training to understand, training to support
We are the UK's leading provider of training in ADHD and neurodevelopmental conditions.
Our courses are interactive, evidence-informed, and full of practical strategies that can be applied in real-world settings. Choose from live and on-demand webinars, in-depth training courses, or bespoke sessions tailored to the specific needs of your team.
Daring to think differently
Over the last five years, we have put up installations all across the UK, consisting of brightly coloured umbrellas suspended above streets and public spaces to celebrate the intelligence, ability and talent of every human being. Find out more about The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project and where our next installation in 2025 will be.
