Why is specialised help important for children with ADHD and Learning Disabilities?
Children with these hidden “disabilities” often struggle with the demands of daily learning and living and are often
misunderstood by others as naughty or lazy. Without appropriate support, such children may be at great risk for:
- Decreased self-esteem
- Academic failures
- Family difficulties
- Social problems
- Substance abuse, etc.
Early intervention could help these children to improve their learning, reduce their struggle and frustration, and
maximize their potential to live more fulfilled lives.
