Beyond the ADHD Diagnosis: From Case Conceptualization to Practical Intervention

CE Hours 4

About this live event

This four-hour training explores how clinicians can apply an ADHD-informed lens to case conceptualization and treatment. Participants will examine how executive functioning and emotional regulation influence clinical presentation, including how ADHD may present differently across individuals and populations based on age, gender, culture, identity, and lived experience. Participants will also learn to differentiate ADHD-related patterns from overlapping concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma and adapt therapy to better meet the needs of clients with ADHD. Case examples and practical application will be used throughout the training to illustrate immediately applicable clinical strategies and interventions.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify at least three ways ADHD-related differences in executive functioning and emotional regulation can influence clinical presentation, functioning, and engagement in therapy.
  • Differentiate common ADHD-related patterns from overlapping features of anxiety, depression, and trauma to strengthen case conceptualization and treatment planning.
  • Apply at least three ADHD-informed therapeutic adaptations or practical interventions targeting areas such as initiation, time management, working memory, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through.

Target Audience

This educational activity is intended for behavioral health professionals and is an approved continuing education opportunity for Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, and Marriage and Family Therapists.
