NI-ADD Support Centre was established in 1997, the objectives of
the group are as follows:
To actively support children, young people, adults and their
carers affected by AD/HD and its associated conditions/hidden
disabilities.
To work together in partnership to educate and increase awareness
of the condition. Promote positive and timely interventions for
those with this disabling disorder.
To create a better understanding of the developmental difficulties
children and young people encounter due to AD/HD.
To enable others to access appropriate services from statutory
agencies and bodies. To provide information, and share it through
an information network with individuals, families and professionals.
-
To promote greater social inclusion for children and young
people who are significantly disadvantaged and stigmatised by
the condition.
To identify and promote ways of providing specific services
for areas of unfulfilled need (not already provided by the statutory
sector). To work on a cross community and non-discriminatory basis
within all sectors of society whilst engaging in all our tasks.
To improve upon the inconsistent and fragmented process of
assessment which currently exists for children and also adults.
