Understanding ADHD Learners: A Practical Guide for Driving Instructors

Look beyond "concentration" and understand what's really happening.
ADHD can influence far more than whether somebody appears to be paying attention.
Driving places significant demands on attention, working memory, planning, inhibition, decision-making, impulse control and the ability to switch between competing pieces of information.
Understanding ADHD Learners helps ADIs and PDIs understand how these differences can present during driver training and, importantly, what an instructor can do about them.
Explore practical ways of reducing unnecessary cognitive load, timing instructions effectively, breaking tasks into manageable stages and helping learners develop their own strategies rather than becoming dependent upon instructor prompts.
Inside you'll explore: ADHD in the driving lesson; attention regulation; working memory; impulsivity; executive functioning; cognitive overload; information timing and chunking; and practical adaptations for driver training.
A practical resource designed to help instructors move beyond "They just need to concentrate" towards understanding what the learner's attention is focused on and why.
