Online Courses in Integrative Pediatric ADHD & PANS/PANDAS
If you are supporting a child with ADHD or navigating the confusing world of PANS and PANDAS, you are probably juggling school issues, sleep problems, big emotions, and a constant stream of opinions about what you should do next.
These online courses are designed to give parents and caregivers clear, evidence informed education in the same integrative style Dr Leila Masson uses in her Sydney clinic. You will learn how to understand the drivers that can sit underneath symptoms (including sleep, nutrition, gut health, immune function, and inflammation) and how to turn that knowledge into practical next steps you can discuss with your child’s healthcare team.
Educational content only. Not personal medical advice. Always work with your clinician for diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Child and Adolescent ADHD - Integrative Treatment Strategies (5 week online course)
ADHD is not just about attention. For many families it shows up as constant reminders, emotional dysregulation, school stress, poor sleep, anxiety, impulsivity, and feeling like everyday life is harder than it should be. This ADHD course is for parents who want a structured, practical approach that looks beyond behaviour charts and quick fixes.
In this course, Dr Masson teaches an integrative framework that brings together the ADHD brain,, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, the gut-brain connection, and targeted supports. You will come away with a clear plan you can implement at home and take to your GP or paediatrician for informed discussion.
What you will learn:
Key patterns seen in ADHD and how they can vary by child and age.
Sleep and circadian rhythm basics, plus practical routines that actually work in real homes.
Food and nutrition strategies, including additive sensitivity and building nutrient dense meals for picky eaters.
The gut-brain connection, and why gut health and behaviour are often linked in children with ADHD.
Which blood tests and nutrient checks are commonly considered, so you can have a better conversation with your doctor.
How to think about supplements safely and sensibly, with an evidence informed, clinician guided approach.
A step by step way to build your child’s personalised support plan, and track what is helping over time.
PANS and PANDAS - The Mystery Illness (4 week online course)
PANS and PANDAS are still missed or dismissed by many mainstream clinicians, but for the families living with sudden onset OCD, tics, rage, or anxiety, they are anything but rare. Parents often describe their child changing overnight, and struggle to find a medical team that recognises what is happening. This course is designed to help you understand PANS and PANDAS clearly, so you can respond with confidence and create a practical plan.
Dr Masson explains the clinical picture, common triggers and patterns, and an integrative way of thinking about immune activation, inflammation, and gut health. You will also receive resources you can take to your GP or paediatrician to support better conversations and coordinated care.
What you will learn:
What PANS and PANDAS are, how they are described clinically, and the key symptom patterns families report.
How to track symptoms, flares, and triggers, so you can see patterns instead of guessing.
Common triggers (including infections and immune stress) and how to discuss them with your clinician.
Nutrition and gut support principles often used in integrative paediatrics during flares.
How to create a flare support plan for home and school, including communication, routines, and expectations.
How to work with your healthcare team using clear documentation and a shared plan.
