Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Secretary for Education
An ADHD diagnosis, whether it was obtained from the NHS or a registered private practitioner, may form part of the evidence a school uses when deciding how best to meet a pupil’s educational needs.
In circumstances where pupils have identified additional learning needs (ALN), schools may use information from a range of sources to help describe the pupil’s ALN when developing an individual development plan and the additional learning provision they require.
Although a formal diagnosis may help support this process, it is not necessary for a pupil to have a medical diagnosis to access educational support or to receive additional learning provision.
