Testing a nature-based family activity intervention for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
“In nature children find space to breathe"
We are exploring whether a nature activity box can be used in NHS Neurodiversity services following a child's ADHD diagnosis. We are working with families and staff members to see how easy it is to use and how it might help quality of life and wellbeing.
