COURSE DESCRIPTION
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common and costly behavioral health conditions worldwide, with most impacted youth experiencing some degree of difficulty into adolescence and adulthood. Adolescents with ADHD demonstrate deficits in core cognitive domains of executive functioning, motivation, and social-emotional processing, which may present in impeded self-regulation, task avoidance, and emotion dysregulation. In turn, adolescents with ADHD are at an increased risk for functional impairment across a variety of areas, such as school problems, peer and family conflict, anxiety, depression, and risky behaviors (including self-harm and suicide attempts). In order for providers to most effectively support adolescents with ADHD, knowledge about evidence-based practice (EBP) goals and strategies to address core ADHD deficits and related impairments is warranted. This one-day workshop will include an overview of select EBP strategies for adolescents with ADHD, including psychoeducation on adult-teen interaction styles, Organizational Skills Training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and self-care strategies. Resources and examples for incorporating each strategy into practice will be presented. Next, the Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) model, as well as behavior support plans aligned with the ABC model, will be introduced and applied to case examples. Finally, we will discuss how to integrate key concepts from the workshop into existing treatment plans for optimal engagement and outcomes when working with adolescents impacted by ADHD and comorbid disorders. Throughout the workshop, methods for incorporating digital health advancements and culturally-attuned approaches will be emphasized.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this one-day workshop, participants will be able to:
- Connect the core ADHD deficits and related impairments with evidence-based practice goals and strategies
- Utilize the ABC model to understand and manage impairment uniquely experienced by each adolescent with ADHD
- Apply the 3 steps for setting up a behavioral treatment plan to improve ADHD impairment aligned with the ABC model
- Integrate key concepts about core ADHD deficits and related impairments connected to evidence-based practice goals and strategies into existing treatment plans
