What is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects brain activity, development and a child's ability to function. It is characterised by a pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that can interfere with daily activities, school attainment and relationships.

Although there used to be two different diagnoses - Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - they have now been combined into one disorder with three subtypes: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, or combined type.

What’s in the course?

  • Understanding ADHD and how it affects learning and behaviour

  • Identifying symptoms of ADHD in children 

  • Learning effective strategies for managing ADHD, impulsiveness and emotional dysregulation

  • Practical steps to supporting children with ADHD

  • Learning how to develop and strengthen attention, memory, and planning skills 

“My son has a diagnosis of ADHD, emotional dysregulation and suffers with anxiety. This impacts his life at school and at home and causes him distress. He finds it hard to communicate with his peers and adults in an appropriate manner. He gets frustrated easily and then gets overly emotional. Now, he has been empowered with a skill set for life; and his outbursts are less frequent.  I can’t recommend this course enough!”
