AUT25-43 Supporting and Understanding ADHD Behaviour

Supporting and Understanding ADHD Behaviour (P) (PP) (SNA)

DATE:      Thursday, 20th November 2025
TIME:       7pm - 8pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

This session will look in detail at what is ADHD, how it impacts our students and how it often manifests in ‘bad behaviour.’ Often this mad behavior is as a direct result of dysregulation, overstimulation or both. I will then explore some easy to implement strategies you can implement to support students with ADHD and provide an environment for them to thrive.
