Understanding and Supporting Children with ADHD
A practical webinar for parents and professionals
ADHD is so much more than difficulties with attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Understanding what lies beneath the behaviours we see is key to providing effective, compassionate support.
In this engaging and practical webinar, Laura Kerbey draws on both her professional expertise and personal experience of ADHD to explore the key characteristics of ADHD, challenge common misconceptions and explain the impact of anxiety, emotional dysregulation and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).
We will also explore the overlap between autism and ADHD (AuDHD), the importance of recognising the needs behind behaviour, and practical strategies to support children and young people at home and in educational settings.
Participants will leave with a greater understanding of ADHD and a toolkit of realistic, positive strategies that can make a meaningful difference to everyday life.
