@ADHD_Congress - Kindly share our youtube video celebrating the International Day of the Elderly as our kick off to ADHD Awareness month. Our theme for this whole year is 'Together for ADHD Awareness'

Watch our Youtube Video - Never to OLD. 📽️youtu.be/ndyW_ekk0FU Today, ADHD Europe celebrates The International Day of Older Persons alongside the awareness campaign of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, under the theme The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives, who are calling on Governments, civil society, the private sector, researchers and older persons themselves to examine how societies can ensure that the additional years gained translate into healthy, productive, dignified and equitable lives for all. For many years, ADHD was considered primarily a childhood condition. Today, growing numbers of adults and older adults are seeking assessments and receiving diagnoses later in life. But does age influence access to diagnosis, treatment, and support? Are older individuals more likely to be overlooked, misdiagnosed, or dismissed? And what can healthcare systems do to ensure equitable access to ADHD assessment regardless of age? In this panel, we will explore how age impacts the recognition and diagnosis of ADHD, discuss the unique experiences of individuals diagnosed later in life, and examine whether current healthcare systems are prepared to meet the needs of adults and older adults with ADHD. Our panelists are - Dana Dzamic (ADHD Coach and Neurodiversity Consultant), Cecilia Ingard (co-creator of the R2D2-MH Project), Roxanne Fouché and Nina Hovén growth Motto: Nothing about us without us.

Her work focuses on ADHD and co-occurring neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions across development. Current research seeks to understand why mental health challenges are more common among neurodivergent young people, and how best to identify, predict, and support these co-occurring challenges in this population. Her work integrates developmental psychopathology, aetiological approaches, cognitive neuroscience (particularly EEG), transdiagnostic frameworks, and collaboration with people with lived experience and charities. ⋆⭒🧡˚.⋆ Tori Wright is a Specialist Study Skills Tutor (Qualified Specialist Dyslexia and Neurodiversity Teacher) and Inclusive Practice Educator, supporting HE academic staff to embed inclusive teaching.

Her MA research on neurodiversity provision for Autistic and ADHD learners in secondary schools was developed into CPD video webinars in 2024 for SEBDA. Her current PhD research focuses on developing an updated theoretical understanding of the influences on teachers’ responses to ADHD learners, and a new ADHD teacher‑training intervention for secondary settings, integrating theory with practical, collaborative, ADHD-informed classroom strategies. As an AuDHDer and parent of neurodivergent children, she brings lived experience that deepens understanding of the everyday challenges faced by ADHD youth and strengthens approaches to supporting their wellbeing and learning.
