This short course focuses on increasing your awareness and understanding of ADHD.

Most of us have an awareness of ADHD however, research shows there are many misconceptions around this developmental disorder. This course will aim to bust some of these myths, explore ADHD categories (including mainly inattentive, mainly impulsive-hyperactive and combination presentations) and their associated symptoms, and help to build practitioners' confidence in assessing and working with ADHD in adults.

This programme is a combination of short, instructor-led webinars, independent learning, and reflective exercises.
