ADHD

This course will provide an overview of ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Course participants can expect to learn about ADHD as a developmental disorder that begins early in childhood, and participants will also learn about evidence-based approaches for diagnosing ADHD. Following that, two evidence-based treatment approaches (the Daily Report Card and Parenting Strategies) will be introduced. (Note these course activities are informational and are not intended to replace working with a licensed/trained professional). Learning Objectives: Students will be able to identify the behaviors characteristic of ADHD, the components of a diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment procedures that can be used in the school or home. 1. Identify the key areas of functional impairment, symptom presentation, and diagnostic decision-making for youth with ADHD. 2. Develop a behavioral intervention suitable for treating ADHD in the school setting. 3. Apply effective parenting and teaching strategies for supporting youth with ADHD in the home, classroom, and neighborhood.

child with adhd

I have learnt a lot of information about the ADHD and learnt the effective methods to modify the behavior of a child with ADHD.

A wealth of useful and practical (which is most valuable in my opinion) information on not only helping a child with ADHD succeed, but helping the adults in said child's life understand the nature of ADHD better.

Even though this is a short course, it gives you all the fundamental tools to approach a child with ADHD in and out the classroom.

If you are a parent, even if you don't have a child with ADHD, this course can be very useful for you.

Useful tools for classrooms and resources to work in home with a child with ADHD.

As an individual with ADHD and having a child with ADHD i recognize the value and truth much of the information that is being taught here.

I learned new methods to help me in the class with a child with adhd eg.

this really gave me deeper understanding of how a child with ADHD can be manged better in school as well as home.

It helped me a lot to know more about kids showing attention deficiency both at home and in school, and how to tackle them.

They give you a lot of web pages with tools that you can use at home.

This will help me at work and at home with my child.

It is a really well structured course, it gives useful information and several strategies to use both at home and at school.

I have watched him over the last year seem to deteriorate socially, academically and emotionally in school and at home.

This course explained things to me and gave me options that I can implement at home to better manage his condition, as well as things I can bring forth to the school to help him be more successful.

will help

I am a teacher and I learned new strategies that will help me to understand and help kids with ADHD inside the classroom.

Nicely organized to learn the practical implications and the intervention techniques I have certainly learned more about myself.... An useful course that will help caregivers understand how to deal with children having ADHD, to strategize for betterment, and to monitor progress and outcomes.

I like how the course was very practical and more focused on the strategies that will help teachers, parents and children with ADHD, rather than focused on theory and statistics.

This course will help us improve our coexistence.
