Modules
Understanding neurodiversity
Both neurodiverse and neurotypical children think and behave in ways that are valid ways of being in the world. Unfortunately, many school environments and our expectations, are often set up to accommodate neurotypical individuals, so it can be much harder for neurodiverse children to cope.
Understanding ADHD
ADHD is neurodevelopmental. People with ADHD have brains that work differently from people without ADHD.
- ADHD brings both challenges and strengths.
- ADHD is not something to get rid of. It is a part of someone’s personality.
There are strategies that people with ADHD can use to cope with challenges. And strategies that caregivers can use to help their children with ADHD to understand these challenges and cope better.
Add-on modules
There are specific modules that augment the core programme with information about neurodiversity for parents of ADHD and autistic children. These modules have been co-created with much dialogue with specialists in the field and those with lived experience. The modules for parents of ADHD and autistic children acknowledge the challenges that these children and their families face but do not categorise these difficulties as behaviour problems or issues to “fix” in the children. Instead, parents receive psychoeducation and learn strategies to support their children’s emotion regulation, co-operation, and social skills, with a focus on also making environmental changes that will help match what their child needs.
The additional modules will help neurodivergent children to thrive by doing better at school, having more friendships and having improved emotional regulation.
