ADHD
Empowering children with ADHD to focus and flourish.
DyslexAbility provides expert, one-on-one support to help children with ADHD build the skills and strategies they need to succeed academically and emotionally.
WHAT IT IS
What is ADHD?
ADHD affects how a child focuses, stays organised, and manages tasks. It often shows up as inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or a mix of all three. It’s estimated that up to 40% of kids with dyslexia also have ADHD.
This isn’t about laziness or lack of motivation, it’s a difference in how the brain works. Kids with ADHD may struggle to follow through, even when they’re bright and capable. With the right support, they can build the tools they need to thrive at school, at home, and beyond.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
Signs of ADHD.
Does your child experience any of the following?
Difficulty focusing or maintaining attention on tasks.
Challenges in completing homework or school assignments on time.
Forgetfulness, disorganisation, or frequent loss of personal items.
Struggling to follow multi-step instructions.
A tendency to daydream or appear “lost in thought.”
If these signs sound familiar, DyslexAbility offers targeted support to help your child overcome these challenges and thrive.
THE EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES
Challenges faced by children with ADHD.
For children with ADHD, everyday tasks like completing homework or staying focused in class can feel overwhelming. Without the right support, these challenges can lead to:
Falling Behind in School:
Difficulty concentrating and following instructions can affect academic performance across subjects.
Frustration and Low Self-Esteem:
Everyday environments may feel overwhelming, leading to anxiety or withdrawal.
Social Difficulties:
Challenges with attention and organisation can impact friendships and peer relationships.
Emotional Overload:
The effort required to focus and complete tasks can lead to stress and anxiety.
If these challenges sound familiar, now is the time to get expert support tailored for your child. They don't have to struggle alone—help is here, right when they need it most.

THE FACTS
ADHD is a difference,
not a limitation.
Misunderstandings about ADHD often lead to frustration and stigma for children and their families. At DyslexAbility, we aim to empower families with knowledge and help break common myths:
Myth
ADHD is just laziness or lack of motivation.
Children with ADHD will “grow out of it.”
ADHD means poor academic ability.
Fact
ADHD is a neurological condition, and with the right strategies, children can achieve their potential.
ADHD is a lifelong difference, but early support can help children develop lasting skills for success.
Many children with ADHD are highly intelligent and capable; they simply need support to channel their abilities effectively.
By understanding ADHD families can create an environment where children feel supported and empowered to excel.
