Course Information
Course content
The course provides structure and treatment direction on working with people with ADHD traits. Most of the presentation is didactical learning with some group discussions and self or practice reflection. We will also include information which can be passed on to the clients.
​
During the training we will cover the different areas which the client with ADHD might require support with. These may include: organisation, time management, sleep, or a deeper level of self-care.
We will take a short journey in neuroscience and look at the ADHD brain. We will then consider questions such as: Why and how is it different from the neurotypical brain? We will also explore the sensory triggers and the impact on the individual.
​
Our aim is to understand how we can work differently with clients who may be neurodivergent. The attendees will be able to take the principles of treatment planning away and apply it in their own practice.
