Workshop Description:

Utilizing a long-term and evidence-based treatment approach for children and adolescent is essential for effective management of ADHD. This includes accurate diagnostic efforts to help identify a range of coexisting conditions that may accompany ADHD, as well as addressing home, school, and social challenges. However, many families, educators, and clinicians lack a critical framework for guidance to address foundational difficulties such as sleep difficulties and academic underachievement, as well as the myriad of developmental challenges that arise over time. This presentation will present a six-step comprehensive evidence-based ADHD treatment management model that utilizes a number of approaches and interventions for children and adolescents. Useful and specific strategies will be described for each phase so participants will increase their understandings and skills in each area.

The six-step ADHDology Treatment Model is presented as the framework to accomplish these three goals:

· Provide a clear understanding of ADHD, which is a complex and confusing condition. Without this, clinicians may not address the difficulties and challenges appropriately, and treatment approaches may not be as successful or can even fail.

· Teach the fundamentals about managing and treating ADHD at home and school.

· Provide additional and alternative approaches to treat ADHD, some of which are newer, while others have a longer history of effectiveness.

Learning Objectives:

After attending this intermediate-level workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Understand and utilize the six evidence-based and comprehensive steps to treat and manage ADHD.
2. Reduce the everyday challenges of ADHD at home and school.
3. Teach more effective parenting skills to improve behavioral and social problems.
4. Teach clients how to enjoy better relationships with their children and adolescents.
5. Teach parents how to maximize results from partnering with ADHD medication prescribers and other providers.
