ADHD and Sensory Processing
When: October 5, 2021 Online
Description
Why is it so difficult for students to pay attention these days? How does a therapist plan an effective session if the student is not able to pay effective attention? How do we support classroom teachers in their understanding of key areas of development needed in order to pay attention? If these are some of the questions on your mind, then this workshop will be for you. Maude will cover the current trends and thinking around ADHD and the different components of ADHD. Assessment Tools will be shared as well as multiple ideas about “what to do about it”. The workshop participant will leave the workshop equipped with practical ideas that will enhance the functions of their clients. Maude will also share her Executive Functioning Questionnaire used as an assessment tool. This workshop will provide the theory and the research, but it also would be practical in terms of providing accommodations as well as intervention for these troubled students.

Reviews
I appreciate the way Maude presents her courses, in a concise and precise way, combining research and evidence-based approaches. I feel supported and I always finish the classes with a lot of new ideas and food for thought.

Thank you, Maude, for a very informative and thorough course on ADHD and Executive Functioning. As a parent of kids with ADD and / or Executive Functioning challenges, it has been invaluable. My understanding of working memory, attention and executive functioning and their inter-dependence has improved by leaps and bounds. I have no doubt that all the professionals involved in the webinar will be enhancing greatly the quality of therapy their clients will be receiving. And I know what questions to ask of them and understand better why certain therapies are employed.
