Suitable for parents, teachers and professionals
In Ireland, ADHD affects between 3-5% of school-aged children, meaning that almost every classroom includes at least one student with the condition. Yet many teachers report feeling under-equipped to meet the learning, emotional and sensory needs of these pupils. This practical and engaging webinar, ADHD Strategies in the Classroom, bridges that gap by giving educators the tools and confidence to support every child to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Through evidence-based guidance grounded in psychological research, you’ll discover specific strategies to manage distraction, improve time management and organisation, and strengthen working memory. You’ll also learn how to create classroom environments that promote wellbeing, and support sensory and emotional regulation. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a toolkit of realistic, effective approaches you can start using immediately to make your classroom a place where students with ADHD can truly flourish.
Who should attend?
- Primary school teachers, principals, SNA and SEN coordinators
-
Parents and carers of children aged 4-12 with ADHD
If you work with primary-age children, this webinar will give you practical, evidence-based tools you can start using straight away.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:
- Develop an understanding of strategies you can implement in your classroom (or relevant setting) in order to promote the learning and wellness of students with ADHD
- Learn specific strategies to support distraction, time management, organisation and working memory
- Understand how to support the sensory and emotional needs of the child with ADHD
Remember, research shows that children with ADHD often face challenges with attention, organisation and emotional regulation, and when these go unsupported, they’re at greater risk of academic underachievement and school-related stress (O’Keeffe & McNicholas, 2020).
If there is a child in your family, classroom or setting who you think needs support in this area, make sure to book this webinar so you can be that adult in their world who truly makes a meaningful difference.
