Tina Tan, Hamadatun Yusuf
This 15-hour course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to understand and support learners with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants will be introduced to current research on ADHD and gain a deeper understanding of the difficulties that learners with ADHD experience. Participants will also draw on intervention frameworks to identify and address
challenging behaviours effectively and develop holistic support plans to better meet the needs of
learners with ADHD.
The target audience may be educators who need practical strategies to support learners with ADHD in managing attention, behaviour, and learning in the classroom, parents who want to better support their children at home, or professionals working with children with attentional and
hyperactivity issues.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Advise on the identification and support of an ADHD learner
- Apply the Interactive Factors Framework (IFF) to understand the influence of biological, cognitive and environmental factors on the learner
- Analyse a problem behaviour with reference to ADHD characteristics and the Antecedent-Behavioural-Consequence (ABC) model
- Select and practise behavioural management approaches to address the behavioural needs of an ADHD learner
- Suggest supplementary remedies, interventions or modifications to address the biological deficits and environmental risks factors associated with ADHD
- Apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines to enhance environmental factors to help children with ADHD learn effectively
DAS Academy will deliver this course through a combination of in-person and online learning. Two sessions will be conducted in the classroom, while three sessions will take place online in a live, interactive format.
Participants will complete a written e-assessment at the end of the course via the Learning Management System (LMS). The assessment consists of case studies requiring them to apply key theories and frameworks covered in the course. Participants will have 1 hour and only one attempt to complete the assessment.
- A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to participants who attain at least 75% attendance and successfully pass the assessment.
- A Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to participants who attain at least 75% attendance and do not wish to undertake the assessment.
*Course will be postponed if the minimum number of participants is not met.
