Courses for Parents

Picture


​Autism for Parents and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for Parents
​are short courses open to anyone.

Autism for Parents

The course is aimed at parents* and carers* of children with autism. However, the content including lots of videos of parents talking about the issues that concern them most, provides fantastic insight for anyone who supports a child with autism. 

* throughout this short course, parents will include carers and other with parental responsibility

This short course is aimed at the parents and carers of children with autism. Other people may also find it helpful, such as other relatives and teachers.
 
We talked with parents of children who’ve been identified as falling on the autism spectrum, to identify the issues that concern them the most. We then interviewed a number of parents about those issues, and you can hear about their experiences in the videos throughout this short course.

This free course will explore:
 
The definition of ADHD and its characteristics
The prevalence of ADHD, its possible causes and diagnosis
Support at home and in the school
Strengths of people with ADHD
 
This course was developed by OLT with help from Parents for ADHD Advocacy Australia
 
We hope that this course can help to improve understanding of ADHD and dispel some of the myths surrounding it.
