About the course
ADHD is the acronym for "Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder". It is one of the most commonbiological disorders in children that affect their behaviour and speech and pose a hindrance, both at home as well as in their social life. The common symptoms may range from attention deficiency and distraction, to being careless, restless/hyperactive and unmindful. They are often termed as "the troublemakers" in the classroom if their disorder is notdiagnosed at an early age.
This course aims to make the teachers aware of the disorder and the issues that they are likely to face from these learners and also the ways to deal with them in the most appropriate way possible. Learners suffering from ADHD may not listen to the teacher's instructions leading to a stressful environment in the classroom; it is the teacher's responsibility to know the right ways to handle such a situation and also ensure that the child is engaged in some action or the other.
Why this course?
ADHD is a behavioural condition that usually occurs in early childhood and can generally be diagnosed in the pre-school stage of a child. These children though may have the requisite intellect however lack the focus and the concentration needed in the classroom, thereby disrupting the whole class. They need to be provided with a positive approach and better plan to address the behavioural issues.
It has also been found that if children with ADHD are given tasks and activities that really interest them, then they will enjoy doing the work, on the other hand, the things which they find dull and boring they will have hard time focusing on them. Hence the candidates also learn the various ways to make the lessons and activities interesting for all the learners present in the classroom.
