Neurodivergence for Professionals Course

CPD-accredited training to support professionals working with neurodivergent children and young people, including those with ADHD in women, is essential for effective practice. 

The course 'Neurodivergence for Professionals in Education' is a CPD-accredited program designed specifically for professionals who engage with neurodivergent children and young people across various fields, including education, healthcare, social care, and support services. 

This training emphasizes understanding how neurodivergence manifests in children’s behavior, regulation, communication, learning, and emotional responses, moving beyond stereotypes and deficit-based models. Special focus is given to those whose needs may be misunderstood or overlooked, such as children who mask, internalize distress, or present differently from traditional diagnostic expectations. 

Participants will learn to: 

- Recognize neurodivergent patterns in children without pathologizing difference 

- Understand how environmental factors, expectations, and sensory demands influence regulation and behavior 

- Differentiate neurodivergence from trauma responses, anxiety, attachment difficulties, and stress 

- Respond to behavior through a needs-led, neuro-affirming lens 

- Adapt communication, expectations, and support strategies in practical and ethical ways 

It's important to note that 'Neurodivergence for Professionals' is not a diagnostic course; it does not train professionals to assess or label children. Rather, it aims to build confidence in understanding, supporting, and advocating for neurodivergent children within the scope of existing professional roles. 

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

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 

This is a 2-hour CPD-accredited course with a certificate.

CPD-accredited training on missed, masked, and misunderstood presentations of ADHD in women.

The "ADHD in Women" course is a 2-hour CPD-accredited training 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 their symptoms, while experiencing significant internal strain, emotional dysregulation, exhaustion, and functional overload. Consequently, they are often mislabelled as anxious, overwhelmed, disorganised, or emotionally sensitive rather than recognized as neurodivergent children or adults.

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 their scope

- support clearer conversations, referrals, and advocacy

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

This 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.
