Support every student. Empower every educator. Strengthen your school community.
The ADHD Friendly School Programme is a nationwide initiative supporting primary and post-primary schools in creating inclusive environments where students with ADHD can thrive.
Developed by ADHD Ireland in partnership with the ADHD Foundation (UK), the programme is grounded in the latest research and best practice in neurodiversity-informed education. It provides schools with expert training, practical strategies, and long-term support to ensure that every member of the school community feels confident and equipped to meet the needs of students with ADHD.
This is more than a training course – it’s a structured, high-quality programme designed to support whole-school development. Our expert Service Development Team is available throughout to answer queries, provide guidance, and ensure your school gets the most from each stage. You’ll be supported by a team passionate about inclusion and committed to helping schools make lasting, positive change.
