Why Work With Us?
Northern Ireland ADHD Support: ADD-NI is a Northern Ireland ADHD charity offering support, programmes and information for families affected by ADHD This gives parents a clearer starting point for checking whether the route has the right background for child-facing ADHD support.
Parent Programmes and Family Confidence: Coaching should turn invisible executive-function problems into visible steps, routines and scripts that a child can practise without feeling blamed.
Quality-Control Guardrails: Families get an ADHD-specific route while verifying any coaching credentials before structured sessions. The listing separates verified signals from credentials that still need checking, including ADDCA, ICF, Patoss, AADD-UK/UK ADHD-body links, DBS and safeguarding.
