Run by ADD-vance - The ADHD and Autism Trust. This live online interactive workshop will explore what is meant by the term 'challenging behaviour' and why challenging behaviour is more common in Neurodivergent children and young people.

You will begin to understand the link between anxiety, anger and challenging behaviour and develop strategies to anticipate and prevent this behaviour.

It will also provide you with tips and tools to encourage positive behaviours and motivate the neurodiverse children you work with.

You will be provided with further resources including where to get more help.

This course is suitable for all club/activity coaches and providers who deliver on Hertfordshire's HAPpy Camps.

This course will take place via Zoom. You will be provided with joining instructions once you have made your booking.

Please contact us on hsptraining@herts.ac.uk if you have any questions, require support to make your booking or if you are unable to attend the live date and you would like the post course resources, slides and recording shared with you to still benefit from the content.

About the Trainer:

Frances Parsons

BA (Hons)

Specialist Autism and ADHD Trainer & Coach

Frances first came on an ADD-vance course more than 10 years ago when she was searching for support for her family and Googled ‘ADHD Herts’. With a background in journalism, she was shocked how little information and educational support there was about ADHD and Autism at that time and is forever grateful to ADD-vance for all the strategies and help she received.

Having then gone on to train as a specialist trainer and coach for ADD-vance, Frances is particularly passionate about the positives of ADHD and Autism. She is a patient and empathetic communicator and loves working with families and professionals to encourage understanding, transform attitudes and, as a result, help everyone with these conditions to reach their full potential.
