In this short course, we will focus on a different specific learning difficulty (SpLD) each week. In week 1, we consider Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) focusing on signs and symptoms of the condition, how learning may be affected, and strategies/ interventions that may be beneficial for the individual. The focus of the next couple of weeks is on dyslexia and dyspraxia. In the final session, we will look at co-occurring conditions, assessments and Education, Health and Care plans (EHCPs)
