ADHD medication supply disruption
For the latest updates and information on the national supply shortage of medication prescribed to help manage ADHD symptoms, visit the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System website.
TThe South East Essex Neurodevelopmental Service supports children who have a neurodevelopmental disorder as well as their parents and carers. It is available for children and young people living in the Southend, Castle Point and Rochford area.
Our neurodevelopmental pathway helps children and young people who are showing signs of a neurodevelopmental disorder. Our highly-specialist clinicians are able to assess children and young people, and diagnose neurodevelopmental conditions such as:
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- tics and Tourette’s syndrome
- dyspraxia
Having a diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder can help children and families understand their needs and access support.
However, your child does not need a diagnosis to get help in school. Read more about support for children and their families on our information for parents and carers page.
