Course Description

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a topic that sparks strong opinions. Some see it as a myth; others recognize it as a genuine neurodevelopmental condition. Is it a sign of poor discipline—or a real struggle that children face every day?

In this course, you’ll get a clear, evidence-based overview of what ADHD really is: its causes, subtypes, and symptoms. You’ll explore how hyperactivity impacts students’ functioning in both school and social settings, and learn how to support them with empathy and structure.

Together, we’ll challenge the myths surrounding ADHD and focus on practical, realistic approaches to working with diagnosed students. Expect real-world examples, hands-on strategies, recommended tools, and even a few surprising pop culture connections!

This course is ideal for teachers, special educators, classroom mentors, school psychologists, and any professionals working with children and adolescents.
