Concentration
Many children have difficulty concentrating from time to time. This becomes a problem when lack of concentration happens more often than not, and impacts on school work or the child’s ability to complete tasks.
Difficulty concentrating can be linked to ADHD or attachment difficulties. We offer several services tailored to these conditions and you can find information about these services by visiting the pages about these conditions. If your child has difficulty concentrating in isolation we can provide an assessment or advice on techniques that can be used at home or in school to boost concentration.
