ADHD: Treatment and Symptom Management

ADHD: Treatment and Symptom Management is a 2-hour, self-paced online course designed to equip professionals with a solid understanding of current research and best-practice approaches to treating and managing Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in both children and adults. Grounded in a cognitive behavioural framework, this course explores evidence-based strategies for addressing core symptoms and associated challenges in clinical, educational, and workplace settings.

Participants will gain insight into the evolving understanding of ADHD, shaped by advances in neuroscience and diagnostic practices. The course covers key treatment considerations including psychoeducation, behavioural interventions, medication options, and support for co-occurring conditions. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of these methods and how they can improve outcomes for individuals living with ADHD.

Through an exploration of clinical tools, therapeutic techniques, and reasonable adjustments, learners will develop confidence in supporting individuals with ADHD and working effectively alongside families, teachers, and employers. Barriers such as treatment disengagement, medication concerns, and stigma are also addressed, with a focus on holistic and compassionate care.

By the end of the course, participants will be well-equipped to respond to common questions about ADHD symptom management and contribute meaningfully to multidisciplinary support networks. This course is ideal for educators, health professionals, and others looking to deepen their understanding of ADHD and apply evidence-informed strategies in their work.

Workshop attendees can expect to:

• Review treatment models and interventions for ADHD in adults and children.
• Develop skills to be able to engage in psychoeducation with families and teachers.
• Explore common secondary impacts of ADHD and their impacts on functioning.
