ADHD Parenting Training - Parents INC

Parents INC (Parents In Control) is our award-winning ADHD-specific parent & carer training programme developed by ADHD Direct’s CEO & Clinical Lead Gordon Brown.

Parents INC is aimed at carers and parents of children with ADHD in the primary school age group (5-12 years old). The 12 hours of content is spread over 6 comprehensive 2-hour sessions hosted virtually by Gordon Brown.

The programme will help you understand the true nature and course of your child’s ADHD. Together with your host you will learn strategies that will help you support your child with their ADHD symptoms, help them with their development and if they present with challenging aspects to their behaviour at times, how to manage this effectively.

About Parents Inc:

Parents INC will equip parents with a comprehensive understanding of their child’s ADHD and empower them to provide the support and guidance their child deserves for healthy development. Through the course, parents will gain valuable insights, tools, and strategies to navigate the challenges of ADHD, to nurture their child’s potential and well-being.

“Parents INC is not a ‘parent training programme’. We assume that most of you know how to parent your child. The programme is designed to help you as the parent gain a better and fuller understanding of ADHD, which in turn will help you guide your child to achieving the best outcomes possible in life.”

Patient Reviews

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

"Assessment process was difficult but the clinician Angela was amazing. Felt like we knew her for years. This is a company who really cares forn their patients its NOT about the money. I had done a lot of research before planning assessments and over the central belt ADHD Direct were the best. The CEO had am amazing career and you can tell he is passionate. The core values of this organisation are at the heart of their care. If you can afford private care please contact ADHD Direct."

AnonymousADHD Assessment

“Reception staff were lovely and welcoming. Katie was great, she was so patient and ensured she was very thorough, explaining everything in as much detail as I needed. She was excellent with my child who was being assessed. She noticed when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and used that opportunity to show me visuals instead of talking about medication (I have adhd too). Thank you for all your help Katie, you made the whole experience much easier than I anticipated.”

AnonymousADHD Assessment

“As a parent, I wasn’t prepared to wait 2 years to get my child the help they needed, so I started looking for alternative assessment routes. ADHD Direct exceeded all expectations. From the first appointment, the service was professional and child-friendly and ultimately they provided us with life-changing answers and support.”

AnonymousADHD Assessment

“There is a group of special people who work here. When I first approached ADHD Direct I already had a diagnosis from another clinic. I even had concerns about something for a phone call etc to reassure me. ADHD Direct, your guys have made my journey so easy. Thank you”

AlistairADHD Assessment

"I never thought of myself as having ADHD because I wasn't one of those kids who was constantly running around. I just assumed I was lazy and unfocused, and that I didn't try hard enough to concentrate on the important things." ADHD Direct led me to realise that not only was there an explanation for why I "worked" differently from others, but also that there were better options than just trying to scold myself into being neurotypical. I'm still "me", but now for eight hours a day I get to be the version of me that prioritises and accomplishes the stuff that needs done without it feeling like a huge chore. ADHD Direct are professional, understanding, experienced and friendly, and I have recommended them to more than one person I know.

AlanADHD Assessment

"When I reached out to ADHD Direct my life was at a low. Decades of feeling trapped on an adrenaline-fuelled roller coaster had left me burnt out; held hostage by a catalogue of erratic and impulsive behaviours with little consistency or stability, impacting my health, relationships and work life negatively. ADHD Direct provided professional support, guidance and a thorough screening process leading to a formal ADHD diagnosis. Recognising these behaviours weren't character flaws but very real symptoms of a medical condition that could be effectively managed was life-changing. With the ongoing support of the fantastic team and a bespoke treatment plan, my life has improved beyond anything I could have dared dream since diagnosis. My huge thanks to the team for their care, sensitivity and support."

Anonymous PatientADHD Assessment

"The clinician was very thorough with explaining everything in detail about the assessment. Very understanding and clear in her treatment plan. Due to lack of services and scrutiny within the NHS, there was no judgement, no waiting long periods of time, just excellent patient focus and making families feel welcomed and finally having the answers. Highly recommend ADHD direct."

Anonymous patientADHD Assessment

"I would like you to know that I think you are the most professional, thorough, and caring team and Gordon’s knowledge of ADHD is second to none. I know how vigorously you tested my child and I 100% would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone and indeed have done in the past. Since you diagnosed my child almost two years ago now with ADHD his life has improved immeasurably, and I cannot thank Gordon enough for this. We will be forever grateful."

AmandaADHD Assessment

"My experience with you over the last year has been excellent and I feel that you have handled my case with exceptional professionalism. The diagnostic process was extremely thorough from beginning to end and your approach to treatment, prescribing medication and reviewing my progress has been consistently cautious and responsible."

BenADHD Assessment

"I was diagnosed with you just over a year ago. I just wanted to email and say thank you. Thank you for changing my life for the better. During my time as a patient at ADHD Direct, I felt fully supported (definitely more than I currently do under NHS care). The staff have always been so friendly and supportive. The team at ADHD Direct change lives and I don't know how I would have managed without your support."

Kelsey ADHD Assessment

"I just want to thank you and all of the team at ADHD Direct for all of your support and input over this past year. It has honestly been life-changing for my child and we are eternally grateful for your help and advice."

FionaADHD Assessment

"I have very much appreciated your help and support during this process. I think I have already told you, but the diagnosis and benefits of the medication have been life-changing for me and my family. This would not have been possible without your expert knowledge of ADHD and associated behaviours."

AnonymousADHD Assessment

"I was struck by your compassionate and empathetic approach for which I am very grateful."

AlastairADHD Assessment

"The support your organisation has provided me has been life-changing."

AnonymousADHD Assessment

"I highly recommend this service to anyone concerned about ADHD. It's made such a difference to my life already to have this diagnosis confirmed. If my appointment had concluded with the answer that I haven't been living with ADHD then I would feel fully comfortable accepting that as the knowledge and competence of the team and the thorough process throughout would make it clear that every factor had been considered. It an outstanding service that I am grateful for. Thanks again :)"
