The information for the pack has been sourced from a number of locations, so some refer to 'AD/HD', some to 'ADHD' and some to 'ADD' (you may even come across some material that refers to 'Hyperkinetic Disorder'). All these terms either refer to the same condition, or variations in the same condition.
The 'html' version of leaflets will open in your browser normally. The 'pdf' version is better for saving and printing out (you'll need Acrobat Reader to read pdf files). If you live in Highland and would like a paper copy, please contact us.
