Hi There,

 

My name is Kate and i work for a company called Kingkraft. We have a range of fantastic sensory products that are ideal for children with ADHD. Is it possible to organise a speaker at one of your support groups? It would be of great benefit to parents and carers (with no obligation to buy - we are just trying to spread the word). see our website for more details or PM me.

 

Many Thanks

I am very interested in the group you have as my son and I have A.D.H.D. and associated Illnesses as they are so labeled. Or as the education system like to call them "The naughty children"!

There used to be a group the North side of Sheffield but the lady who ran the group had to withdraw from activity due to serious illness. Sadly now there is nothing the North side of the city for aid for carers or sufferers of any A.D.H.D or associated illnesses. The last one I knew of that was still active was at Norfolk Park.

I feel that this is also a group that the education authorities should be involved in to aid students in learning and greater achievement as a child with A.D.H.D and associated illnesses is an extremely intelligent child and this is not recognized by the educational authorities and should be as each individual child comes under the title what is now known as the gifted and talented. The schools do not have the time of day for children like this unless they have had medication rammed down their throat first. Which is not always the option especially if the child will not take the medication or it has an adverse effect on the child.

Dr Val Barley is a woman who is prepared to listen to people and their views on A.D.H.D, Aspburgers syndrome, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and other aspects of metal health in children and young adults. I spoke with her on radio Sheffield a number of years ago. She is a very understanding lady and never received the credit she deserverd for standing up for young people and mental health related issues.
