Course Description

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common diagnosis in pediatric practice today. Attention deficit can be a diagnosis, but it can also be a symptom of underlying neural inefficiency. As we dig deeper into sensory processing, we discover multiple facets that forms part of a developmental hierarchy that enables us to use clinical reasoning in both assessment and intervention. Dr. Russell Barkley and Dr. Edward Hallowell stress the importance of self-regulation and self-reflection as key components to consider, both of which overlaps into sensory processing practice. This 2-day workshop will showcase the use of the sensory processing lens when assessing and planning intervention for the different components of ADHD, including a deeper look at the learning disability of dysgraphia that frequently coincides with ADHD. Theory will be made practical through multiple treatment ideas and illustrated through video and observational lab experiences. Both the clinical and school therapist will feel supported by this deeper look into ADHD. 

​

Course Objectives:

The course participant will be able to:

1. List at least 3 components of ADHD that impact therapy decisions

2. Describe at least 10 executive functions to be potentially targeted in therapy

3. Describe multiple strategies to accommodate for decreased executive functions

4. Summarize a 7-step developmental hierarchy to consider in therapy

5. Compare dysgraphia with fine motor difficulties in considering handwriting difficulties using clinical reasoning

6. Analyze one video in a lab experience with observational questionnaire provided
