What are the best free online courses about ADHD?
- Diploma in Diagnosis, Treatment and Management of ADHD
A great and comprehensive course if you are a parent or if you suspect you have ADHD. It outlines how ADHD affects children’s development, unpacks harmful misconceptions and looks at common mistakes in managing the condition. Please note that completing these courses does not qualify you to diagnose ADHD in others. If you would like a diagnosis, please consult a trained and registered medical professional in your country. These courses are so you can learn more about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Introduction to ADHD Awareness
Another helpful option, this course tracks patterns of behaviour, how ADHD affects adolescents and looks at a holistic approach to treatment and management.
- ADHD in Child Development
A more advanced course for once you have more foundational ones under your belt, this option unpacks the etiology (or possible causes) of ADHD in young children and evaluates different parenting styles.
Will Alison’s courses on ADHD qualify me to be a therapist or mental health practitioner?
Alison makes free courses available so anyone in the world can study almost anything they’re interested in. Our ADHD courses are designed to give you a better understanding of the condition, to learn about treatments and see what mechanisms could help manage your or others’ ADHD better. If you want to become a therapist or a psychologist, you need to research the requirements in your country. This likely means attending a university or college for a multi-year degree or qualification. You will probably also have to be registered and pass several exams.
Our courses are an excellent way to study ADHD informally without committing to an expensive degree. If you find you are truly interested in helping others with ADHD, you can then take your formal studies further. An Alison certification is not a medical qualification.
Which other courses are useful for understanding ADHD and other conditions?
- Introduction to Mental Health Disorders
Neurodevelopmental disorders are thought to arise from nature (genetics) or nurture (environment and experiences) or a combination of these. This course looks at ADHD, eating disorders and substance abuse, as well as appropriate treatments.
- Science of Brain Disorders
What is going on in the brain when we suffer from anxiety, Alzheimer’s disease or autism? Neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders are the core focus of this fascinating course.
