Best Adhd Specialists In Auckland Near Me

4worldlovers:
ADHD was previously known as Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD). However, due to more research providing more understanding of its various aspects, in 1987, it officially became known as ADHD.


ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition (not a behavioural disorder) caused by the slower development of the frontal lobe, specifically the prefrontal cortex. ​


This "neurodevelopmental delay" to the prefrontal cortex makes automatically controlling and filtering attention, behaviours, and emotions so much harder. Other behaviours, such as restlessness, impulsivity or inattention, can also result from this delay.​


​To qualify ADHD as a disability, a diagnosis of ADHD in children must result in measurable functional impairments (which show up as repeated poor performance in school), and a diagnosis of ADHD in adults must result in measurable functional impairments that keep them from working.

We used Rainbow House to support our ability to parent our very complex young man! He was diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia, Anxiety and oppositional behaviours. Our therapist was amazing – they helped us understand his behaviours which allowed us to parent more successfully. Both he and I learnt anxiety strategies and tools to help with his diagnoses. They helped the school understand his difficulties too and they acted as advocates to help us understand our funding rights. Our therapist listened to us and was able to provide supports that worked for our family.
