The ADD Information Service receives calls and provides information about neurological disorders and their assessment to support a range of people and organisations to help determine the most appropriate next step, including:

• Parent or family member or the adult for him/herself

• Doctor/GP General Practitioner
• Public Health Nurse
• School, e.g. teacher, or via RTLB Service (Resource Teacher: Learning & Behaviour)
• Parent to parent
• Police
• CAFS (Child, Adolescent and Family Service)
• GSE (Group Special Education)
• Psychologist
• Plunket

The assessment process generally begins by referral to a specialist by one or more of the above.

Most patients will be reviewed as required by the specialist throughout the year.
