Prescribing education for Adult ADHD
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis can be relieving but it can also be extremely overwhelming. Treatment for ADHD may seem as simple as taking a pill and moving on with your life, however research has shown, the best-practice approach for treating ADHD is through a combined medication and education-based treatment plan.
At ADHDEd., we offer two education programmes for adults with ADHD:
-
The first, Introducing ADHD, is a one off course providing a brief introduction to the neuroscience of ADHD and strategies grounded in neuroscience.
-
The second, Awareness and Regulation Coaching, is a series of six-week long modules exploring ADHD holistically and learning to develop strategies to manage the associated symptoms.
Introducing ADHD
If you're an adult with ADHD or support people with ADHD and you haven't had a structured education programme this course is for you.
Specialist education and support is the first step in learning to thrive with ADHD, but it's rarely offered.
We're excited to announce our new introductory online course: Introducing ADHD
Introducing ADHD is online course explaining:
-
The science of ADHD in simple terms
-
How this shows up in our day to day lives
-
The evidence about what helps-beyond medication
-
Practical tips to create a plan for success
-
Common ADHD strengths and how to use them
We know what it's like to get a diagnosis in adulthood, and the frustrations of waiting for diagnosis and treatment. We know it can feel like the ADHD system is broken and it's hard to find support you can trust. We can help you find clarity, reduce shame and focus on success.
This course has been designed and developed by Dr Judith Mohring, consultant psychiatrist, expert trainer and neurodivergent person. Dr Judith works full time as a medical educator delivering neurodiversity training to banks, law firms and professional services firms as well as providing open courses for the public.

Week 1:
ADHD is tidal
Introduction to the group and how to show up, share and support each other.
ADHD energy is tidal: How ADHD causes shifts in energy, focus, attention and drive, and how learning to raise awareness of our “tides” is vital.
Week 4:
Returning to the path of Executive Function
What is executive function, why is it important to ADHD and how do we improve it?
Week 2:
The Pez and the Piñata
ADHD tides affect motivation and reward: sharing and exploring how reward focus can lead to distraction or hyperfocus. Exploring the two sides of the ADHD coin: strengths and struggles.
Week 5:
Emotion, overwhelm and the “switch”
Why does ADHD come with strong emotions, and how can we be kind to ourselves and manage these better day to day?
Week 3:
The Puppy and the Path
Understanding the Default Mode Network (DMN), what it does and what it needs. The DMN is a vital part of our brain, curious, playful, reflective. But if we don’t look after it well, just like a puppy, it strays from the path.
Week 6:
Bringing it all together and using ADHD Strengths
Reviewing the progress we’ve made and the learnings we’ve shared. Returning to our ADHD strengths along with ADHD struggles and celebrating the journey we’ve made together.
Module 2: Mindfulness and Movement for ADHD
Both mindfulness and exercise have been shown to improve ADHD symptoms. Actually doing them is a challenge for most ADHDers. In this course we learn easy to deploy mindfulness strategies which you can use while doing other things and which don’t require you to sit still. We also explore playful and creative ways to use our ADHD strengths to make exercise plans that work.
12 hours over 6 weekly sessions. £150 per session.
Launching in September 2025.
