ADHD support in Schools
Updated 26 May 2023
We are thankful to have received a grant from the Sutherland Self-Help Trust* and have used 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.
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 helped us to define the content and development.
We also collaborated with author and teaching specialist Jenny Tebbutt. We're grateful that we were able to 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.^
We also engaged with specialist medical professionals to review our materials to ensure accuracy.
We are undertaking a closed-beta launch. This means a handful of people (external to those involved in its development) will be engaged to review the modules and provide their feedback to us.
Thank you to all of you who have supported us on this journey.
We look forward to sharing more with you soon.
