About the Course
ADHD Awareness Training
This ADHD Awareness training course supports healthcare staff, social care workers, and educators to develop a clear, confident understanding of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as part of the wider neurodiversity spectrum. The session explores how ADHD presents in both children and adults, how it affects daily life, and how staff can adapt their communication and support to create inclusive, empowering environments.
Participants will examine the characteristics of ADHD, the challenges individuals may experience, and the strengths often associated with neurodivergent thinking. The course also highlights the importance of early recognition, collaborative working, and practical strategies that promote independence, engagement, and wellbeing.
