Practise at home? You can do practice seat time for a few minutes at a time at home.

If you want a diagnosis, I think you should see an educational psychologist. When you describe the symptoms etc, they will recommend what sort of tests they think appropriate. I think therapists use an official diagnosis or their own observations to design therapies, but I'm not sure if they are able to give official diagnoses themselves.

Hi


Is your child on medication for ADHD ? Does it helps to improve the condition of his concentration in class?

Did you enrol your child in group classes or individual classes?

How do you teach your child to be able to follow instructions and pay attention during group classes?

My child was asked to withdraw from group enrichment classes because he keep walking around the class and lying on the floor.I feel sad because he cannot continue the lesson to learn even though the programme is good.
