Whole staff training lays a solid foundation to build on and I've provided this for primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities. These packages are designed to enhance your knowledge, understanding and confidence and provide you with practical day-to-day ideas and strategies to manage children and young people with ADHD as effectively as possible.

Available face-to-face or virtually* as (A) twilight/inset session, (B) half day or (C) full day. PDF copies of all the PowerPoint presentations are provided. 

(A) Twilight/inset session (up to 2-hours, recommended minimum 90-minutes). 
We explore what ADHD is, how it presents and why, including: • How the ADHD brain is different • The impact on executive functioning (daily living skills) • Assessment/Diagnosis • ADHD medication • Positive traits of ADHD. 
The strategies are appropriate for neurodiverse learners but have a much wider application, looking at whole class management as well as more targeted support.

B) Half day (up to 4-hours). Includes all the above, allows more time for questions/discussion and look in more depth at key areas of interest for you e.g. more detailed behaviour management programmes or effective use of language for positive results. 

(C) Full day (up to 6-hours). Can include everything above and allows the greatest amount of flexibility to tailor the session to your needs e.g. reflection, group discussions, case studies, forward planning.
