Level 2: Supporting ADHD, AUDHD, and RSD 606010 [UK Time Zone]

This focused and insightful training session is designed to deepen your understanding of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), AuDHD (co-occurring Autism and ADHD), and RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria)—three neurodivergent profiles that can affect how students experience learning, social interaction, and performance.

Through a combination of theory,  case studies, and interactive discussion, you will:

• Gain a clear understanding of the definitions, characteristics, and diverse presentations of ADHD, AuDHD, and RSD

• Explore evidence-based strategies to support students in creative learning environments

• Apply your learning directly to Stagecoach-specific scenarios, ensuring relevance and confidence in the classroom

• Share best practices and learn from fellow teachers’ experiences, creating a collaborative and supportive community

This session empowers teachers to respond with empathy, adaptability, and effectiveness, creating a more inclusive space where every learner feels seen, understood, and supported.

Together, let’s build classrooms where neurodivergent students can thrive through creativity and connection.

Important Advisory on Course Levels

Please note: The term "level" as used in our teacher training courses refers solely to Stagecoach's internal framework of professional development. It is designed to indicate progression within our own three-tier training structure and should not be interpreted as representing a formal qualification level. These internal levels are not equivalent to primary qualifications and do not correspond to any nationally recognised attainment levels as defined by Ofqual or any other awarding body. By proceeding with your booking, you acknowledge that you understand and accept this distinction.
