Course Information
Course content
Most practitioners find it challenging to work within the original framework with ADHD clients. How can we account for the client’s neurodiversity? Do we need to alter the way we work? How can we address the difficulties rooted in neurodivergence? Do we need to completely change how we work?
We can learn to weave psychology with neurodivergence. We can build new elements in our original modality while still using familiar methods. We can address the extra elements that highly impact neurodivergent individuals and systematically manage them.
The workshop aims to share the application of the ADHD Treatment Pyramid:
-
Sensory regulation
-
Organisational issues
-
Time management issues
-
Self-esteem related questions
-
Procrastination - motivation
-
Emotional regulation
-
Creating a routine
-
Masking and shame
We will be examining how we can account for these different factors within our treatment planning.
What extra information do we look for while working with the clients with ADHD?
How can we separate the psychological and neurodivergent elements?
How we move between the different layers depends on the clients’ presentation?
In addition, we will apply our knowledge with case examples and our own experiences in treatment planning.
