Exploring ADHD and Child Trauma - A Practitioner's Guide to Supporting Children and Young People

The symptoms of ADHD intersect significantly with trauma responses, and it can be challenging for child protection professionals to form a full picture of a child''s challenges and needs. For example, is a child''s a lack of focus arising from ADHD symptoms, or hypervigilant burnout? Is a child''s defiant behaviour caused by emotional dysregulation or a defensive trauma response? Understanding the roots of a child''s behaviour leads to better assessments, support and interventions.

This book will provide the information and practice guidance you need to navigate this complex terrain.<
