Dr. Russell Barkley just explained ADHD in a way that flips everything parents think they know: It's a delay in the brain's 5 core executive functions—all rooted in the frontal lobe: 1. Ability to stop (inhibit impulses) 2. Use visual imagery (mental rehearsal) 3. Use the mind's voice (internal self-talk) 4. Manage emotions & motivation (mind's heart) 5. Plan & problem-solve — the highest human executive function: generating multiple future options when faced with obstacles. This last one—the "mind's playground"—doesn't fully emerge until late childhood even in neurotypical kids. In ADHD, all five are significantly delayed. That's why: - They can hyperfocus on video games (instant external rewards) but can't start homework (no internal drive or planning). - They blurt, interrupt, or explode emotionally (can't stop or regulate). - They struggle to "think ahead" or see multiple solutions (planning feels impossible). Barkley: "These are not choices. This is neurogenetic executive delay." Understanding this stops blame and shame—and starts real support. If you're a parent, teacher, or have ADHD yourself: which of these 5 feels most delayed for you/your child? What finally helped bridge the gap?

If you’re in the U.K. and you’ve been waiting for an ADHD assessment the NHS has started limiting access to ADHD assessments and haven’t notified GPs or patients, so if you’ve been on the waiting list for a while and haven’t heard back this might be why

A playful KS1 is not chaos or no instruction; it's not a lowering of standards or an invitation for an unravelling of curriculum and any formality. A playful KS1 is an informed and effective way of welcoming our children into their learning and a wonderful bridge from EYFS.

For many neurodivergent people, seeking mental health support can feel confusing and isolating. By learning more and sharing tailored resources, we can help build support that truly works for neurodivergent communities. 🧡 👉 prevent-suicide.org.uk/neuro…
"the risk of suicide is disproportionately high for people with a neurodevelopmental difference. Accessing support for your mental health while waiting for a neuro difference assessment or post diagnosis can often lead to people feeling passed between services with the strategies and support offered not always respecting these differences. ...Highlighting this issue is a significant step in raising awareness and support for neurodivergent people facing mental health challenges" S.

Only 3 local authorities can say how many dyslexic children live in their area, yet around 900,000 dyslexic children are in schools. Our new British Dyslexia Association report ‘Lost in the system: Councils’ blind spot on dyslexia’, calls for dyslexia to be recorded so learners are visible and support can be planned Read more: bit.ly/49RfNeM
