The Family Action ASD/ADHD Support service offers support to parents of children and young people waiting for an assessment by the Neurodevelopment Service in Norfolk. We also offer some support to parents of children who have been diagnosed with ASD or ADHD. Parents are invited to attend workshops, support groups, courses and individual support and advice in matters relating to their child’s needs.
Positive Behaviour Strategies (PBS)
Positive Behaviour Strategies (PBS) is a programme for families of children with additional needs. It was developed originally to give group support to families of children who had been referred for assessment by a specialist team. This course will help you think about the messages your child is trying to communicate to you and offers some practical skills and strategies to promote your child’s development and wellbeing.

What happens after my child gets an ADHD diagnosis?
If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, it may feel a little daunting initially. After receiving an ADHD diagnosis for their child, many parents may understandably experience a mix of emotions. It is important to remember that you are not alone in these feelings, and it can be helpful to reach out for support. Action for Children have outlined some helpful resources to support parents and caregivers following a new diagnosis.
