Working through ones including hero v villain and Cinderella (or cumulative three), participants consider how the stories might be used in their roles.

Facilitator shares key tips.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace.

CPD Accredited, Interactive Short Course
2 - 3.5 hr sessions
What is Attention Deficit Disorder?
How can you best understand, and thus cope and help those affected?
Course Contents:
What is ADHD
ADHD as part of the Autistic Spectrum
How to help you cope if you have ADHD
How to cope with children who have ADHD
Great for teachers and TAs in schools, others who work with people who have ADHD, and of course, those with ADHD themselves
Benefits of this Short Course:
Boys are around 4 x as likely to have ADHD
Worldwide, 5% of people have it - that is 1 out of every 20!
The figure for this is estimated to be higher in the UK
This means that every single classroom in the UK will have at least one child or young people with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
Learn more about the condition and how you can help them cope and take part in 'normal' life.
