Additional support for children and young people

Support for children and young people who are neurodivergent

NHS Lothian has information on support for children, young people, and adults who are neurodivergent. They aim to offer compassionate care, clear guidance and empowering resources every step of the way. You’ll find practical advice and links to help you take the next steps with confidence.

Embracing Difference is a set of recorded presentations by NHS Lothian Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service for parents of primary aged children who are neurodivergent or present with developmental divergence.

The presentations have information and strategies to support children, optimise their learning and reduce distress. They also offer strategies to support parental self-care and wellbeing.
