Summary:
Online course instructed by a mother of an ADHD child and a counselor dealing with ADHD children and parents. |
Description:
This is an educational course about a childhood disorder that continues throughout adulthood. It will give you valuable information about ADD/ADHD. However, any diagnosis or treatment program should be obtained by a professional doctor.p
Some have questioned whether there is even such a thing as ADHD, but those who have worked with these children and those who have conducted years of research would unequivocally tell you there are. It may be over-diagnosed, under-diagnosed or misunderstood, but there are approximately 5-7% of American children who have ADD/ADHD. One researcher feels this is a low estimate as many girls fail to be diagnosed as well as many ADD children who without the hyperactive component become lost in the shuffle.p
This course will help you understand what ADHD is and enable you to get the necessary help for a professional diagnosis. As a parent who may be struggling with difficult ADHD behaviors and chaos in the home, you may finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief and say, At last, someone understands!p
This course will cover the recommended multi-modal treatment program, which includes medical, educational, psychological and behavioral management. Developing skills of behavioral management, prevention, good communication, and anger management, will empower you as parents, reduce the chaos in your home and help you and your child succeed.
As a parent, I did not have this information available to me when I was raising my ADHD child. If I had, it would have made life so much easier. As a counselor who has facilitated many ADHD parenting groups, I have always felt gratified when parents leave feeling they no longer are alone and that they have definite skills to make life better.
