Dr Vicky Downing developed this training, based on her PhD research where she developed and implemented a BPT for children with ADHD.
She utilises a variety of case studies and practical opportunities to enhance skills taught in the workshop, providing an integrated framework for working with children (and adolescents) and their families in relation to ADHD diagnosis, parental guidance, psycho-education and treatments, based on scientifically validated research.
