Chmielnik County Clinic Expands ADHD and Autism Diagnosis Services

The Powiatowa Poradnia Psychologiczno‑Pedagogiczna in Chmielnik now offers comprehensive diagnostic assessments for children and adolescents suspected of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The clinic uses standardized tools such as the ADOS‑2 and conducts in‑depth interviews with parents, school reports, and sensory integration therapy. Staff note a sharp rise in diagnoses in recent years and emphasize the need for early, individualized support for children, families, and schools.

Separately, experts highlight the challenges faced by parents who themselves have ADHD. Psychologists discuss how adult ADHD can affect parenting, especially for mothers dealing with hormonal changes and sleep deficits after childbirth. They stress the importance of recognizing these difficulties, developing coping strategies, and offering tailored guidance to help parents manage both their own symptoms and the demands of raising children.
