Supporting Learners with ADHD

It is estimated that 2-5% of school aged children have ADHD, so if you are a teaching today it is very likely you will have a child with ADHD in your class! ADHD is a very misunderstood condition. Children and teenagers with ADHD are often labelled as challenging and disruptive, with many leaners with the condition failing to meet their potential in the education system. This is a course that Laura Kerbey is passionate about delivering, being both a parent to a child with ADHD and an adult with ADHD herself.
