Description

This highly informative course is delivered in 5 episodes, each lasting between 20 and 30 minutes. It contains a detailed appraisal of best practice when supporting students with ADHD in mainstream educational settings, with a clearly explained and highly practical skills-based approach. It is appropriate for staff who work with pupils of all ages and in all types of school, and is equally beneficial to staff who work in student support as well as to classroom teachers.

Expect an honest appraisal of the strategies and techniques that are effective in helping students that are either diagnosed with ADHD, or have significant traits of inattention and/or high impulsivity when at school (and indeed also when at home).

The course is fully practical, designed to equip staff with a range of effective interventions to use with students when either teaching a whole class, or supporting 1-2-1.
