Episode Description

As adolescence sets in, the behavior approaches of elementary school lose their power. Parents need new strategies to effectively guide their teens with ADHD through the social and executive function challenges of middle and high school.

The first step: Understand how impairments can lead to serious social and academic problems. Then: Research and explore specific services developed for adolescents with ADHD that have been shown to deliver short- and long-term benefits. Here, caregivers and teachers can learn how to apply these strategies in unique situations.

In this webinar you will learn:

    • Why youth with ADHD typically have problems with academic and social functioning
    • The approaches for improving the social and academic functioning of adolescents with ADHD that research suggests are most promising
    • Ideas for how to apply the evidence-based approaches to unique problematic areas
    • Strategies for effectively approaching educators with requests for useful services
