A child who is bright but cannot finish a worksheet.
Reports that repeat “could try harder” year after year. Forgotten homework, lost jumpers and instructions that seem to vanish halfway through. Outbursts that come and go in seconds, and sometimes a constant need to move. Mornings that end in tears before the school run has even started. These patterns are often attributed to laziness, poor parenting or a lack of discipline. In many cases, they reflect ADHD.
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in childhood, and one of the most misunderstood. It affects attention, activity levels, impulse control, emotional regulation and executive function, and its impact reaches into learning, friendships, family life and self-esteem. Without accurate understanding, well-intentioned support can miss the mark entirely.
Understanding ADHD is a CPD-accredited online course that explains what ADHD is, what causes it and how it presents in children. It covers the core symptoms, how ADHD can look different from child to child, and the range of approaches used to support it, from practical strategies at home and in the classroom to current treatment options.
The course is self-paced and fully online, so you can work through it at a time that suits you. It is designed for parents, teachers, therapists and anyone supporting a child with ADHD who wants to move from frustration to informed, effective support, and is worth 29 CPD points.
