Petition Fund screening for Autism, ADHD and Dyspraxia in all primary schools

Fund a national screening programme in all primary schools for Autism, ADHD and Dyspraxia. Far too many children are missed and end up dysregulated and in crisis in the secondary years. These crises are preventable if we understand and meet need earlier in life.

More details

Governments have consistently supported the national healthy child programme including vaccinations, hearing, sight and weight.

We believe not taking adequate action to identify neurodivergence is a national emergency.

This screening programme should use an assessment battery, rather than ADOS.

We believe this would help ensure that the needs of children are met before they become dysregulated, which would be a better use of public money.
