SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH ADHD AND ADD
This course is suitable for any member
of school or college staff who works with students who have been diagnosed with
ADD or ADHD or who are suspected of having these conditions. It would also be
of interest to other educational professionals such as counsellors or
educational psychologists and it would help parents of ADD/ADHD children as
many are unsure how to form a partnership with their child’s school or college
so the child would not be disadvantaged.
The course will cover:
* The ADD/ADHD spectrum and prevalence
rates
* Diagnosis – where and how
* Core features and successful strategies in and out of the classroom for
inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity
* Social skills, behaviour and attainment issues
* Plus points
* Co-morbidity and what to do about oppositional defiant disorder, conduct
disorder, anxiety and mood disorders, including Tourette’s syndrome
* Strategies for concentration, improved behaviour and increased academic
attainment
* Checklists, useful books and organisations and where ADD/ADHD is on the
neuro-diverse spectrum
