ADHD Training for Therapists

posted on

The predominant characteristics for ADHD typically begin to appear between 3-6 years of age. Research suggests that among those children diagnosed with ADHD in childhood, 50-80% will continue to meet the criteria for diagnosis in adolescence and 10-65% may continue to do so in adulthood. 

As technology (in the form of smartphones, tablets, gaming systems, etc.) has become increasingly ubiquitous in our everyday lives it has also exacerbated the symptoms of people living with ADHD. Trained professionals are needed now more than ever in harnessing their expertise to create environments where children can learn and thrive while reaching their potential in the face of these additional challenges.

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

ADHD is the term for a specific developmental disorder that can be seen in both children and adults alike. Believe it or not, the name attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is misleading. It suggests that people with ADHD have a shortage of attention, however, what they do have is a deficit in attention regulation. Which is the ability to sustain their attention on what is most important in any given moment, as they deal with a constant barrage of information. 

This easily manifests itself in behavior that may appear as highly distracted, restless and disorganized. It permeates every facet of a child’s life and is accentuated in the classroom. 

While ADHD can impact people across their life span, if caught and properly addressed in its early childhood stages, it can result in a significant improvement in the quality of a person’s life.
