Understanding Neurodevelopmental Conditions in Adopted and Fostered Young People
Free Online Event: Understanding Neurodevelopmental Conditions in Adopted and Fostered Children
This one-hour session is for adoptive parents, foster carers, and professionals supporting adopted or looked-after young people.
We’ll explore how conditions like Autism and ADHD often go undiagnosed in this group and what families can do to get the right support. You’ll learn about why rates of neurodevelopmental conditions are higher in this population, how to access specialist assessments, and how interventions need to be adapted for young people with Autism and ADHD. You will also have the chance to ask questions throughout.
