Course Description
ADHD (or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a chronic condition that creates a range of persistent symptoms such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviour.
The ADHD Awareness online course covers the definitions of ADHD, the different types of ADHD, and how to recognise some key signs and symptoms.
Beyond this, the course will look at some of the possible causes of ADHD, how it is diagnosed, and how it can be treated, including environmental changes, types of therapy, and medication that can be prescribed.
The course concludes with some advice for people living with or caring for those with ADHD and provides some practical advice for supporting children, teenagers, and adults with the condition.
