Kids, teens, and young adults with ADHD can put parents (and therapists) in a bind—should they be given more oversight to ensure success or more freedom to learn on their own? Author and international speaker Ari Tuckman, PsyD will share a practical model for helping these families navigate the daily challenges more effectively in order to reduce conflict, foster understanding of ADHD, and support agency to prepare young adults for launching into college and beyond. This will take the therapist out of the middle of the endless tug of wars and give them a framework to help these families.
Objectives:
- Explain to clients how ADHD impacts kids’, teens’, and young adults’ functioning
- List ways to help families to negotiate common stress points such as homework, mornings, and screentime
- Explain the pros and cons of medication for ADHD
- Discuss ways to help families of college students to negotiate roles and expectations for the student and parents
