Should I Ask for Help? ADHD Support Flowchart | Emotional Regulation Tool

A simple, student-friendly flowchart designed to help pupils decide when and how to ask for help.

This resource supports students who struggle with identifying emotions, understanding what they need, knowing when to seek support, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Created with ADHD and neurodivergent learners in mind, this tool breaks down the process into clear, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and encourage independence.

What’s included:
• 1x printable A4 flowchart
• clear step-by-step decision making
• supportive language and prompts
• strategies to try before seeking help
• guidance on when to reach out

Perfect for:
• ADHD / neurodivergent learners
• SEN support
• pastoral care
• classrooms, interventions, or 1:1 support

Why this works:
Unlike generic resources, this has been designed from lived experience, focusing on what actually helps students in real situations — not just theory.
