After the Diagnosis Your Next Steps
Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD. Now what? This course gives you the complete treatment picture — and a practical toolkit for what to do at home, starting tonight.
You have the diagnosis. Now you need the plan.
If your child has recently been diagnosed with ADHD — or you strongly suspect it — you probably left the appointment with more questions than answers. You may have a prescription. You may not. Either way, you’re wondering: what do I actually do now?
This course gives you that answer. In seven focused videos, Dr John Flett — a specialist paediatrician with over 25 years of clinical experience — walks you through the complete treatment picture and equips you with practical, evidence-based strategies you can start using tonight.
- Parents of children aged 5–14 who have recently received an ADHD diagnosis
- Parents who suspect ADHD and want to understand what effective support looks like
- Families who feel overwhelmed and need a clear, structured starting point
- Partners, grandparents, and caregivers who want to help
- Parents who have tried strategies before but want to understand why they work — or don’t
ADHD treatment isn’t one thing. It’s a table with four legs.
Medication is powerful — but it’s only one leg of the table. The families who see real transformation are the ones who build all four legs. This course shows you how.
Your Child’s Complete Treatment Table
The course is built on Dr Flett’s CALM framework — a systematic roadmap used in his clinical practice for over two decades:

Each video teaches one concept clearly, gives you one practical strategy you can use immediately, and builds on the video before it. Watch in order for the full learning journey.
