NSPCWT would like to invite parent carers and professionals working with children to join us for an online session via zoom on a Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder question and answer session.

Join us to find out more about the condition Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and how it can impact your child in the areas such as executive functioning, working memory etc. You will receive a 30 minute condensed training on the subject, followed by plenty of time for you to k the questions specific to you and your family.

Expert trainer Corrina Wood from Platypus Training will be on hand to answer your questions and provide tips and strategies to help you better support your child or young person with this condition.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse. Symptoms of ADHD tend to be noticed at an early age and may become more noticeable when a child's circumstances change, such as when they start school.Most cases are diagnosed when children are 3 to 7 years old, but sometimes it's diagnosed later in childhood. Sometimes ADHD was not recognised when someone was a child, and they are diagnosed later as an adult. The symptoms of ADHD usually improve with age, but many adults who were diagnosed with the condition at a young age continue to experience problems.People with ADHD may also have additional problems, such as sleep and anxiety disorders.

North Somerset Parent Carers Working Together are incredibly excited to extend our training offer with more diverse topics to benefit you and your families.
