“In Ireland we have seen perceptions of ADHD change and improve over the past 5 years. Schools and employers are now contacting us to get information and training on supporting people with ADHD. Yet the majority of children aren’t getting a diagnosis and treatment and services for adults are nearly non-existent on a societal level. We believe that ‘Changing Perceptions’ will help put ADHD on a bigger stage, as the next step in getting people with ADHD the help and support they deserve.”
Ken Kilbride – CEO of ADHD Ireland
“This event is a unique collaboration between people affected by ADHD and internationally renowned experts from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Holland & Australia. Sharing experiences and debating the changing perceptions about ADHD in the 21st century we will explore what do we all need to do, to enable those with ADHD to thrive?
We will be asking , how should public services – especially health and education, adapt to meet the needs and develop the potential of the 1 in 5 people who are neurodiverse – and the 1 in 20 who live with ADHD? We are delighted to be working in partnership with our friends at ADHD Ireland.”
Dr Tony Lloyd – CEO of ADHD Foundation: Neurodiversity Charity
