Understanding ADHD

​

In Canada, approximately 5% of children and 4% of adults are diagnosed with ADHD, showing that you are far from alone in this journey. We believe that beneath the surface of ADHD lies a world of untapped potential and unique strengths. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children and adults. It manifests as difficulties in maintaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. ADHD can impact various aspects of life, including academic performance, work productivity, and relationships.
