Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects people and children of all ages. It is not an uncommon disorder and can have an impact on a child’s life and their ability to function in both the home and school environment. Parents, teachers and healthcare workers often aren’t equipped with the tools to identify and help children with ADHD. This course is aimed at providing a solid foundation for learners in the theoretical knowledge of ADHD and its practical application to supporting children affected by this learning difficulty. This online course is comprised of the most up-to-date information in the field and makes use of a range of interesting case studies, as well as a comprehensive strategy toolkit which can be applied to real life situations.
