Understanding ADHD Behaviors

Overview

Why do people with ADHD act the way they do? From impulsivity and restlessness to bursts of creativity and hyperfocus, ADHD behaviors are often misunderstood. These patterns aren’t simply “bad habits” or “lack of discipline” — they stem from differences in brain function, motivation, and emotional regulation.

This course, Understanding ADHD Behaviors, helps you develop clarity, empathy, and strategies to better understand individuals living with ADHD.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, counsellor, or someone living with ADHD yourself, this program offers practical knowledge and skills that create positive change in daily life.
