ADHD support for parents in Malta
I work with parents on the parts of the day that ADHD makes hard, at home and with school. I don’t diagnose. My guide to ADHD in Malta explains how assessment works here and who to see.
What we work on
We look at routines that still work on a bad day, and at homework: where it happens, how long it takes, and what steps make it manageable. We look at moving from one activity to the next, and at strong feelings, both in the moment and afterwards. Attention and schoolwork come into it too. Home and classroom strategies work better when they match, so school is part of the conversation.
Working with your child’s school
Not every child with ADHD has an IEP (Individual Education Plan). In Malta, an IEP follows recognition by the Statementing Moderating Panel and Appeals Board, which reviews written assessments with parents and other professionals. Without one, the class teacher and any LSE (Learning Support Educator) can still agree strategies that help your child in the classroom. I help parents prepare what to ask and what to share from home. More on school and IEP support.
Other support in Malta
ADHD Malta is a national NGO for people with ADHD and their families. A family doctor or paediatrician is the route to assessment and to any question about medication.
