Two twilight sessions were recently delivered to Brookfield Primary School teaching staff by members of the Paving the Way team, with the subject being Support, management and understanding of pupils with ADHD and or traits of ADHD at school
Aims of the session:
- To increase knowledge of ADHD and to have a better understanding of how it feels for a child/young person with ADHD/attention and concentration difficulties
- For teaching staff to feel more empowered and confident in working with children with attention and concentration difficulties in the classroom
- For staff to have an opportunity to share ideas and strategies with each other
