CPD courses & points for psychologists in South Africa
South Africa: Learn the OnTrac Parent-Child ADHD Program for children aged 7-10. Master psychoeducation and skill-building in these courses.
About this course in South Africa
The second of two courses on the OnTrac Parent-Child ADHD Program, this course completes training in the manualised group intervention for children aged 7 to 10 and their caregivers. It covers how ADHD affects motivation, families, communication and social skills, why it seldom exists in isolation and needs multimodal treatment, and how to address self-esteem, peer pressure, bullying, screen time and building a relationship with teachers. South African psychologists will learn to teach practical skills with tools such as the ADHD Iceberg and Pebble Jar and to monitor progress through workbook activities. The course is accredited by the HPCSA for CPD points.
This talk offers practitioners training in the OnTrac Parent-Child ADHD Program, a structured, manualised, six-session intervention developed for children aged 7–10 and their caregivers. Grounded in psychoeducation and practical skill-building, this program supports families to better understand ADHD and develop strategies that enhance functioning across home, school, and social settings. The OnTrac programme is delivered over 2 talks on Calabash, and this talk is part 2 of the series.
Delivered in a combined group format, each 2-hour weekly session integrates three key modules:
- Psychoeducation: Understanding ADHD, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and comorbidities.
- Adaptive Thinking: Cognitive restructuring, values-based action, emotional literacy, and social thinking.
- Practical Coping Skills: Time management, organisation, communication, and routine-building.
The program prioritises collaboration, structure, and early intervention to improve children’s capacity for self-regulation, task initiation, and problem-solving. Workbooks and therapist guides support fidelity of delivery, while mentor involvement enriches the group experience.
