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. -- Professor Susan Young, Consultant Clinical and Forensic Psychologist
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. -- Professor David Shemmings OBE PhD, Emeritus Professor of Child Protection Research, University of Kent, UK
