Practical ADHD and Executive Functioning Tools for Child and Teen Clients

15

Course Overview
This presentation will provide clinicians with a practical toolkit of strategies to support children and teens with executive function challenges. Moving beyond a theoretical understanding, Dr. Heller will focus on actionable solutions for everyday struggles. The session is designed to empower clinicians with concrete tools to help their clients (and parents of clients) develop skills and establish routines in organization, planning, and time management, fostering greater independence and reducing family stress.

Learning Outcomes 
Upon the completion of this course, the learner should be able to:

  • Differentiate between the three primary presentations of ADHD as defined by the DSM-5-TR and their specific relationships to executive functioning deficits.  
  • Assess the impact of executive functioning weaknesses on a client’s school and home life, specifically regarding task initiation, emotional regulation, and working memory.
  • Apply planning techniques to help clients improve time-blindness and challenges with routines including morning and evening ones.  
  • Construct a customized executive functioning toolkit for clients using a combination of visual schedules, physical organization checklists, and specific digital task-management applications.  
  • Formulate a collaborative parent-child plan that utilizes modeling and structured family meetings to improve household efficiency and reduce ADHD-related friction.
