Overview
- Buildings in Palencia and nearby towns were lit orange and community fitness events were held as part of National ADHD Day visibility actions.
- The Asociación TDA-H Palencia renewed calls for psychopedagogical evaluation services, expanded local sites and equal treatment with other third‑sector groups, with a meeting with the Health Minister still pending.
- The group, which says ADHD affects 6.8% of children and adolescents in Spain, reported serving more than 200 families in the province and logged hundreds of individualized therapy sessions in 2024.
- Association leader José Antonio Hoyos criticized Sacyl’s adult services, saying psychologist appointments every six months do not constitute treatment and that rural residents face additional barriers.
- Rapper Annarce highlighted awareness with a new song, Niño TDAH, recorded at CEIP José Hurtado to challenge stigma and share lived experience.
