Through this ADHD Awareness for Teachers online course, you will develop a clear understanding of ADHD causes and risk factors, including genetic influences, psychosocial factors and brain-based differences, and how these can present differently in children, young people and adults. You will also explore the experience of ADHD across the lifespan, including adult diagnosis and how ADHD can affect wellbeing, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.

This teacher-focused ADHD training also strengthens your ability to support families.

You will also gain structured insight into ADHD in educational settings, including the value of screening awareness, classroom interventions, behaviour support approaches, and teacher training methods that help pupils stay engaged, organised and motivated. The course further explores ADHD and learning difficulties, alongside cognitive approaches such as cognitive behaviour models, helping you understand the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour in ADHD-related challenges.
