ADHD in Practice (6-Hour)

Overview

This CPD-certified course has been created to provide practical support to anyone working with children or young people with ADHD in schools and education settings.

Many of us are aware of ADHD and the effect it can have on learning and behaviour, but it can be difficult to know how we should adapt everyday practice to support our students with ADHD more inclusively, and how we can respond more confidently and consistently to meet their individual needs.

ADHD in Practice will help staff understand how ADHD may affect a child or young person’s attention, executive functioning, memory, organisation, emotional regulation and classroom participation.

Course attendees will learn practical inclusive strategies for real situations to enable students with ADHD to participate in learning most effectively, build self-esteem and independence, and engage with staff, peers and their environment successfully.

The 6-hour, in-person course covers:

  • ADHD in an education setting, including common myths, different presentations and a strengths-based view.
  • How ADHD may affect attention, memory, emotional regulation and executive functioning.
  • How signs may present in the classroom, including differences in how ADHD can present in girls and boys.
  • Instructional adaptations, task breakdown, visual cues, active engagement and assessment adjustments.
  • Structure, routines, movement, seating, sensory considerations and reducing distraction.
  • Positive behaviour support, self-esteem, social-emotional learning and independence.
  • Parent-school communication, SEND responsibilities and transitions.

Who is this course for?

Anyone working with children or young people who would like to learn more about ADHD, how it can be a barrier to learning and participation in school life, how unmet needs can shape behaviour, and the practical strategies that will enable them to support students for more inclusive and effective learning environments.

3: Pedagogical Strategies and Teaching Techniques
