ADHD support in Schools
We are thankful to have received a grant from the Sutherland Self-Help Trust* and will be using this funding to create an online professional development programme for primary and secondary school staff to understand and more easily provide support to students with ADHD to enable them to achieve to their maximum potential.
We will be engaging with specialist medical professionals to review our materials to ensure accuracy.
We are also collaborating with author and teaching specialist Jenny Tebbutt. We will utilise her extensive 25 years’ experience as a teacher and a ‘Resource Teacher: Learning and Behaviour’ supporting hundreds of neurodiverse students and their teachers with proven results.**
As with our work creating the E-learning Modules about ADHD for staff in tertiary education organisations, funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC)^, collaboration with neurodiverse learners, parents, teachers, and educational consultants via focus groups and interviews will define the content and development.
Implementing feedback from our focus groups may necessitate us to deviate from our proposed outline.
We are currently looking for staff from primary and secondary schools, and parents of children with ADHD in school, to share their insights about ADHD in their school to participate in our focus groups or complete survey.
