Neurodivergent children may need support in different ways.<\/span> Every child is unique, but whatever support they need there are a range of organisations that can offer advice and help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Children who are neurodivergent may be living with one or more neurodevelopmental conditions. These include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette\u2019s syndrome. This website focuses on autism and ADHD, because a review carried out by the NHS in Dorset identified a need for improved access to information and support on those conditions. <\/span>However, this section of our site also includes links to information on other conditions to support Dorset’s wider neurodivergent community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
