Australia has a new ADHD guideline for clinicians – does it apply in NZ?

ADHD New Zealand has developed professional e-learning modules about ADHD for staff in tertiary education organisations, funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). As part of the development, ADHD New Zealand ran several focus groups to improve our understanding of what was required. Collaboration with neurodiverse learners and staff from tertiary education organisations via focus groups and interviews defined the content and development for these e-learning modules. Specialist medical professionals also reviewed the content to ensure accuracy. There are four modules, and each module takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Information in the four modules includes: 1) understanding learners with ADHD 2) how to effectively engage learners with ADHD 3) strategies to optimise the tertiary outcomes of learners with ADHD, and 4) tips for developing inclusive lessons and integrated learning strategies. As part of the soft launch, some participants spoke in a panel discussion at our Global 24-hour conference in October. Find out more about our e-learning modules.
