Presented By: Ari Tuckman, Psy.D.
Location: Online Workshop
3 CE Credits
Adults with ADHD are over-represented in therapists’ caseloads. Fortunately, diagnosing ADHD accurately and treating it effectively will likely benefit the comorbities that often accompany ADHD. We will begin with how to diagnose ADHD in the presence of common comorbidities, then discuss a more useful conceptual model for understanding ADHD struggles and strategies. We will then discuss how to help clients think through the decision to try medication and how to facilitate their appointments with a prescriber. Finally, we will discuss how to help adults with ADHD approach challenges more effectively and with a more resilient mindset.
Objectives:
- Use a new model for understanding ADHD.
- Apply criteria to make differential diagnoses between ADHD and other conditions.
- List 3 ways to help clients to make well-informed treatment choices.
- Utilize 4 tools for improving clients’ maladaptive coping mechanisms.
- Use a conceptual model of ADHD to help clients increase productivity.
