Course Overview​

Our Neurodiversity course looks at the Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and associated conditions; Sensory Processing Disorder, Dyspraxia, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), and touches on Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). All these conditions can be grouped under the umbrella term ‘Neuro-diversity’. Once the trainer has become aware of one of these conditions, it is their role to help and support learning where they can, and in some cases, to know what organisations to contact for additional support to refer their learners to.

Materials / Equipment

You will be provided with the course workbook and other course materials at registration. Lunch will be included and refreshments available throughout the day.

Course Timings

10:00am to 4:30pm Registration and coffee from 9:30am

Why should I attend?

ADIs are ever frequently receiving enquiries asking if they cater for people with certain conditions. In even more cases, it becomes apparent during the course of learning that their student has a hidden disability. If they have had a diagnosis some learners and their families will discuss this with you. However, in other cases the ADI may not have been told. It may be apparent that there is something more going on as traditional learning approaches are less successful, so the ADI needs to tread carefully when exploring this further. This is where this course will help.
