Description

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE

Presented by: Krista Van Iderstine, O.T.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts individuals across the lifespan.  The scientific understanding of ADHD has been rapidly changing ever since it was first recognized as a disorder.  As a result, there is an unfortunate amount of misunderstanding, misinformation, controversy, and societal stigma about ADHD.  More recent scientific studies have been shaping a more effective and complex picture about the unique brain differences and needs of individuals diagnosed with ADHD.  Occupational therapy can play an important role in supporting individuals with ADHD, but it is critical that OTs understand how to adapt their services to meet the unique ADHD needs of their clients.

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to: 

  1. Learn about key brain differences associated with ADHD.
  2. Understand impact of ADHD differences on occupational engagement.
  3. Consider practical ways to foster ADHD-friendly occupational therapy services.
