ADHD is considered to be a neurodevelopmental disorder, often referred to as a performance disorder, that impacts approximately 6.1 million children ages 4-17 (CDC.gov). Many students with ADHD have difficulty staying focused on a task, paying attention and controlling their impulses. The condition is pervasive and affects all areas of development including academic, behavioral, and social-emotional growth. Poor performance on tasks can be misinterpreted as a lack of motivation when in reality, ADHD physiologically prevents students from performing and reaching goals.

Research has shown that approximately 32% of students with the combined type of ADHD dropout of high school (Breslau et al. 2011). In order to understand and effectively teach and communicate with children and young adults who have ADHD, an understanding of executive functioning, self-regulation and the working memory is of primary importance. Teaching self-regulation to promote goal-oriented behaviors is possible through this understanding. By recognizing the impact that ADHD has on learning and in life, the importance of developing the essential skills of “how to learn” helps to provide the skill set for success in school, at home and in life. The skills and interventions taught will be applicable immediately with an understanding of “why” they are effective.

In this informational/interactive presentation, participants will:

  • Learn the prevalence and impact of ADHD
  • Understand how ADHD impacts students socially and academically in school
  • Understand executive functioning and how it relates to students’ ability to self-regulate
  • Critically review how delaying gratification increases self-regulation (self-control)
  • Be prepared to use practical interventions to increase focus and decrease distractions from outside stimuli
