Supporting Children with ADHD
This course offers valuable insights into recognising and supporting young children who display traits of ADHD. We will explore the core characteristics of the condition, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and how these present in early childhood. You will examine practical, everyday strategies to adapt your early years environment, establish supportive routines, and manage behaviour positively. The module also emphasises the importance of focusing on a child's strengths rather than just their challenges. By the end of the module, you will be equipped to create an inclusive space that celebrates neurodiversity, implement tailored support plans, and work in close partnership with parents and specialists to ensure the child thrives.

How it runs
The course opens in a browser on a phone, a tablet or a desktop, with nothing to install. Progress is saved as it goes, so someone can stop and pick it back up. The assessment sits at the end, and passing it issues a certificate with its own reference number that an inspector or an auditor can check.
