Supporting a Child with ADHD at School
This course is designed to empower parents and carers with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to support their child with ADHD in a school environment. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how ADHD affects your child’s learning and behaviour at school — and discover how to work collaboratively with teachers, advocate for your child’s needs, and create consistent strategies between home and school.
Whether your child has just been diagnosed or you’re navigating ongoing school challenges, this course will help you feel informed, prepared, and supported.
