Why learn about ADHD in Schools and Nurseries?

For the teacher, teaching assistant, SEN staff, and other educational workers, this training will provide knowledge that will help to teach ADHD pupils and nursery children, increasing understanding of why they do what they do, what makes them different, and how to help them feel confident when going into their futures.

For the ADHD child or teenager, this training will show them they don’t need to worry about how their ADHD may affect their futures, that they can thrive as adults with ADHD. The training will also give them guidance on how to make that happen, by showing them the advantages their ADHD may give them, and teaching them to learn about what their strengths are so that they can lean into the the areas that will benefit them the most.

For the non-ADHD child or teenager, this training will help them to learn about their classmates and fellow students – one day to become fellow colleagues. It will teach them how to better understand those with ADHD, and hopefully therefore lessen the next generation’s experiences of unconscious bias and unintentional discrimination that many ADHD people face in the workplace.
