Boosting Impact of OT, PT, and Speech Services for Children with ADHD
Is the time you spend supporting children and youth with ADHD productive? Are you looking for strategies to be effective when providing OT, PT or Speech services?
Look no further! Adiaha is here to provide you with evidence-informed management strategies. This seminar starts with a discussion of the prevalence and DSM-V criteria of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You will also learn about Complex ADHD, including the most common co-occurring diagnoses with ADHD. To be effective in your interventions, Adiaha will help you understand how executive functions (EFs) impact your clients with ADHD. She will share her Model of Executive Functions, which will help you recognize how dysfunctions in specific EF domains can influence the way your client with ADHD think, feel, and act, and, thus, their progress toward their goals. You will learn how each of the 12 EF domains relate to tasks typically addressed by OT, PT, and Speech practitioners (e.g., from communication to self-regulation and motor skills). Adiaha will provide you with multiple EF strategies that you can utilize to help your client’s manage their own behaviors during your sessions and in their real life! Finally, she will apply knowledge gained from this seminar on 2 case studies of clients with ADHD.
Leave this seminar with multiple concrete strategies to boost your client’s success!
