£0.00
Description
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition, which is characterised by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Children who have high intelligence alongside a neurological condition are considered to be “dual or multiple exceptional” (DME). This term is used in the UK to describe children who have both high learning potential and other additional needs. DME means the same thing as “twice exceptional”, or “2e”, terms used in other parts of the world.
