Around 5-7% of children worldwide have ADHD. There are three different presentations of ADHD, and each can cause real difficulties in a child's daily life.
This ADHD awareness training course can help anyone who works closely with a child who has ADHD. Appraised by ADHD and neurodiversity expert, Fintan J O’Regan, this course aims to raise your understanding of what ADHD is, what might cause it, and most importantly: how to support children with ADHD achieve personal, occupational, educational, and social success.
