Neurodivergence for Professionals Course

CPD-accredited training to support professionals working with neurodivergent children and young people

Neurodivergence for Professionals in Education  is a CPD-accredited course designed for professionals working with neurodivergent children and young people across education, healthcare, social care, and support services.

The training focuses on how neurodivergence presents in children’s behaviour, regulation, communication, learning, and emotional responses, moving beyond stereotypes and deficit-based models. Particular attention is given to children whose needs are often misunderstood or missed, including those who mask, internalise distress, or present differently from traditional diagnostic expectations.

This course supports professionals to:

• recognise neurodivergent patterns in children without pathologising difference
• understand how environment, expectations, and sensory demands affect regulation and behaviour
• differentiate neurodivergence from trauma responses, anxiety, attachment difficulties, and stress
• respond to behaviour through a needs-led, neuro-affirming lens
• adapt communication, expectations, and support approaches in practical, ethical ways

Neurodivergence for Professionals is not a diagnostic course. It does not train professionals to assess or label children. Instead, it builds confidence in understanding, supporting, and advocating for neurodivergent children within existing professional roles and boundaries.

The course is trauma-aware, evidence-informed, and grounded in real-world practice. It supports reflective, compassionate work with children while remaining firmly within professional scope.

This training is suitable for:

• educators and SEN staff
• healthcare and mental health professionals
• psychologists, therapists, and coaches
• social care and family support professionals
• anyone working with neurodivergent children in a professional capacity

CPD-accredited training on missed, masked, and misunderstood presentations

ADHD in Women is a 2 hour CPD-accredited course designed for professionals who work with women and girls whose ADHD presentations are frequently missed, misinterpreted, or diagnosed late.

Women with ADHD often present differently from traditional diagnostic expectations. Many are articulate, high-functioning, and skilled at masking, while experiencing significant internal strain, emotional dysregulation, exhaustion, and functional overload. As a result, they are commonly mislabelled as anxious, overwhelmed, disorganised, or emotionally sensitive rather than neurodivergent.

This course explores how ADHD presents in women across the lifespan, with particular attention to:

• masking and compensatory strategies
• internalised hyperactivity and cognitive overload
• emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity
• the impact of hormones, including puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause
• the overlap between ADHD, trauma, burnout, and anxiety

The training supports professionals to:

• recognise female-pattern ADHD presentations without relying on stereotypes
• understand why women are often missed in assessment and support pathways
• differentiate ADHD-related difficulties from trauma responses and stress-related presentations
• work ethically and confidently within scope
• support clearer conversations, referrals, and advocacy

ADHD in Women is not a diagnostic course. It does not train professionals to assess or diagnose ADHD. Instead, it builds informed, reflective understanding that improves recognition, reduces mislabelling, and supports more appropriate pathways to assessment and support.

The course is trauma-aware, evidence-informed, and grounded in real-world professional contexts. It is designed to enhance practice without pathologising women or reinforcing deficit-based narratives.

This training is suitable for:

• psychologists, therapists, and coaches
• GPs and primary care professionals
• educators and SEND professionals
• workplace and occupational health professionals
• anyone supporting women and girls where ADHD may be a relevant consideration
