ADHD, short for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a term you might be hearing more and more often, but what does it actually mean? If you’d like to find out, sign up to this three-hour session to gain an understanding of this neurodiverse condition and learn all about how it can affect individuals in terms of their life, learning and work. You’ll come away with an understanding of the traits associated with ADHD and an awareness of the help and support that is available to children and adults who have been diagnosed with this neurodivergent condition.

What will I learn?

You will learn about a range of traits associated with ADHD and how these can affect individuals differently. With an emphasis on raising awareness and understanding, you’ll find out how to go about gaining a diagnosis of ADHD, learn about a range of strategies that individuals might find helpful to use for coping with ADHD in different aspects of their daily lives and you’ll explore the different kinds of help and support that are available for both adults and children.

How much will it cost?

The course fee is displayed at the top of this page.

This course is supported by Tailored Learning funding with an aim of developing stronger communities, therefore a fee concession may be available dependent on your circumstances.
