ADHD Support in Essex
Support at school and home does not have to wait for a diagnosis. Use the appropriate Local Offer for SEND routes, while health assessment pathways are checked separately.
Use the right Local Offer for SEND support
These routes can help with SEN Support, school adjustments and SEND information. Health assessment pathways should be checked separately from council geography.
Support without diagnosis
Talk to the SENCO about needs, adjustments, review points and evidence of what helps in the classroom.
Check the health route separately
NHS pathways can differ from Local Authority boundaries. Confirm the appropriate referral route with your GP or local health service.
Optional independent support
Independent assessment or advisory support is optional. Do not rely on unverified waiting times, prices or availability.
