Treatments that work for children with ADHD: What teachers and parents can do
Betsy Corrin, Ph.D., Child Clinical Psychologist
Children with ADHD typically demonstrate disruptive and off-task behaviors at school and at home. Due to impairments in their ability to regulate their behavior, they often have difficulty complying with adult instructions. These impairments can interfere with learning, limit social functioning, and create significant frustration for caregivers. This workshop will focus on strategies that help children with ADHD improve their behavior across domains. Parents and teachers will improve their understanding of the disorder, learn to identify treatment priorities, and develop the ability to create a behavior plan to improve the compliance, focus, and on task behaviors of children with ADHD.
