AD/HD Is a Bio-Psychosocial Condition Requiring Support from Integrated Services
Hughes, Lesley
Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties, v12 n3 p241-253 Sep 2007
This article reports on how integrated services can provide coordinated support for children with AD/HD and their families. The author reports on the effectiveness of a problem-based approach to interagency working by exploring the use of two models of good practice from education, health and social care to provide a framework for working across disciplines. It identifies how children with AD/HD could usefully inform professionals and parents about their experience of living with the condition and so influence the services they receive. Suggestions are made as to how the framework can be applied in practice with children and how the framework can be used to identify the effectiveness of support which in turn can inform further research and practice. (Contains 3 figures.)
