ADHD IS A ‘HIDDEN DISABILITY’
![Page 17: SESSION 1 Understanding ADHD TIME OUT FOR PARENTS AIMS TO: better understand ADHD and its affects on your child enable you to better manage your child’s.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e445503460f94b379ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Children who suffer from ADD usually have normal or above normal intelligence. They possess the potential to learn but the immature chemical and metabolic system in their brain means they often have little control over their symptoms. They may try very hard to do the right thing, but struggle because they don’t have the self-control to manage things other people usually take for granted.” Dr Harry Nash
![Page 18: SESSION 1 Understanding ADHD TIME OUT FOR PARENTS AIMS TO: better understand ADHD and its affects on your child enable you to better manage your child’s.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e445503460f94b379ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
