ADHD: An understanding for practitioners

Let's dive into the world of ADHD with a practical approach for professionals looking to expand their knowledge.

One-day course

This course aims to enable frontline staff who work with children and young people have a solid understanding of ADHD, an appreciation of its differing presentations affecting assessment and diagnosis of children and young people as well as an understanding of global risks associated with ADHD, the need for integrated medical and therapeutic interventions to improve life outcomes.

ADCG: Dealltwriaeth i Ymarferwyr

Cwrs undydd

Nod yr hyfforddiant undydd yma yw galluogi staff rheng flaen sy’n gweithio gyda phlant a phobl ifanc i sicrhau bod ganddyn nhw ddealltwriaeth gadarn o ADCG, gwerthfawrogiad o’r gwahanol ffyrdd mae’n gallu amlygu ei hun, sy’n effeithio ar asesu a diagnosio plant a phobl ifanc, a hefyd ddealltwriaeth o’r risgiau cyffredinol sy’n gysylltiedig ag ADCG, a’r angen am ymyriadau meddygol a therapiwtig integredig i wella canlyniadau bywyd. Nod yr hyfforddwr yw bod y cyfranogwyr yn symud i ffwrdd oddi wrth ffocws un lens, a bod y cyfranogwyr yn gweld y plentyn/person ifanc cyfan, er mwyn medru gweithio cystal â phosib gyda gwasanaethau eraill.

Deilliannau Dysgu

• Gwybod beth yw ADCG, gan gynnwys y symptomau mae plant a phobl ifanc yn eu profi
• Bod yn ymwybodol o’r broses o ddiagnosio a rhwydweithiau cefnogi lleol
• Gwerthfawrogi effaith bosibl ADCG ar blant a phobl ifanc
• Byw gydag ADHD – nodi ffyrdd o gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc sydd ag ADCG

Ar gyfer pwy mae wedi’i fwriadu?

Staff rheng flaen sy’n gweithio gyda phlant a phobl ifanc sydd ag ADCG a’u teuluoedd sydd am wella’u sgiliau a’u gwybodaeth er mwyn cynyddu eu hyder wrth nodi, cysylltu, cefnogi a chyfeirio’r plant, y bobl ifanc a’r teuluoedd hynny er mwyn gwella’r deilliannau i deuluoedd.
