Attention
Deficit Disorder ADD and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder ADHD
Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
belong to a spectrum of neurological disorders with no known physiological
basis - or so it was thought.
The spectrum goes from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention
Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) through Learning Disabilities,
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tourette’s Syndrome, to Pervasive
Developmental Disorders and Autism.

Dyslexia
We can view dyslexia as a unique collection of learning
difficulties which are specific to the individual and in itself
due to varying degrees of immaturity or under functioning
of specific areas of the nervous system.

Dyspraxia
Over the past few years we have all become familiar with
the term Dyslexia but increasingly of late a new term "Dyspraxia"
has cropped up and more and more children would appear to
suffer from it.
Dyspraxia, sometimes in the past called the "clumsy child
syndrome" is an umbrella term used to describe children
who share similar symptoms but whose aetiology (cause) is
variable.

Tourette's Syndrome of Childhood and OCD
Blinking, grimacing and minor tics are so common in childhood
as to be considered a normal developmental stage that many children
will pass through and hopefully grow out of. Like dyslexia, dyspraxia,
ADD, ADHD and OCD, Tourette’s syndrome of childhood never
appears in isolation but forms just one of the signs and symptoms
of developmental delay.
