This handbook is for Kent families who would like to know more about autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.

The NHS and Kent County Council developed this resource with help from parents and carers of children waiting for an assessment for autism and/or ADHD in the Canterbury area. The parents and partners involved in developing this Handbook wanted to make sure it has information that families would find useful.

The handbook includes sections on where to go for help with health, education, rights and benefits, and a listing of local and national organisations.
