Understanding neurodiversity in children and young people
Clare Brennan
From Autism and ADHD/ADD, to conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette’s Syndrome, we hear a lot about these days about ‘neurodiversity’ (ND) but what does it really mean, both in general terms and for those diagnosed as neurodivergent? What are its causes? And what options are available for effective ‘treatment’?
Clare will take us through the science of neurodiversity and its social impacts, from the apparent steep rise in numbers of children and adults with ND to the fascinating array of medication and treatment options available.
Clare Brennan is the Lead Pharmacist at Renfrewshire’s Child & Adult Mental Health Service (CAMHS), working with children and young people up to the age of 18 to help them understand and manage their mental health conditions and learning differences. Clare provides specialist pharmaceutical care at CAMHS, including prescribing support, medication counselling and medication reviews. She has a special interest in neurodiversity.
