Laura Hanbury offers a much-needed, reflective lens on behaviour, trauma, and diagnosis that will resonate deeply with professionals across child protection, education, and mental health. It is essential reading for professionals working with vulnerable children and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
In this book Laura Hanbury skilfully helps the reader appreciate the complexity of ADHD and Trauma. Often these subjects are discussed in an 'either-or', oppositional mode, but Laura manages to maintain a 'both-and' perspective throughout. And therein lies its important contribution to child welfare and protection.
