Despite thousands of journal articles about ADHD diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment over the last 60 years, there is still great controversy about exactly how best to help parents, the affected children and teens, and those who continue to have symptoms throughout adulthood. This series of four fast-paced webinars portrays most of the leading approaches that have been credibly successful at reducing or eliminating ADHD symptoms among all age groups, from toddlerhood through adulthood. Prescribed medication leads the list and is the most popular type of intervention attempted worldwide. It too has its limitations and is not without its own controversies, from within as well as outside of the medical community. Read More

Module 1

Title: Physiological Interventions for ADHD

This webinar provides an overview of various valid interventions that enhance or normalize the most commonly impaired body functions found among individuals who have ADHD. Whereas addressing brain physiology with prescribed medications is the most popular mode of physiologial intervention, other organs and systems besides the brain often show impaired functioning and exacerbate the symptom picture. Some ADHD symptoms can be controlled, reduced, or eliminated by addressing those facets of body chemistry and functioning. And the brain itself can be addressed through safe, reliable non-medication strategies.

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Cite the five most commonly impaired organs and body systems among those with ADHD
2. Describe indications of malfunctioning for each of those organs and systems.
3. Describe at least two interventions to enhance the functioning of the digestive system.
4. List at least four categories of toxins that, when exposure is scientifically reduced or eliminated, will often help decrease symptoms.
5. Depict at least three effective guidelines for sleep duration and reducing sleep latency.
6. List at least four effective guidelines for exercise for individuals with ADHD.

Module 2

Title: Sensory-motor Interventions for ADHD

This webinar provides an overview of commonly occurring sensory processing impairments (SPIs) among individuals who have ADHD, along with the seven major avenues of intervention to alleviate these deficits. Numerous body parts display impaired coordination of involved muscle groups, acute hypersensitivity, or suppressed response to sensory stimulation, sometimes seen as obsessions, compulsions, obliviousness, touch defensiveness, and weak attention focus. They are all caused by the brain’s abnormal muting or magnifying of its response to sensory inputs. Much of the classroom disruption created by students who have ADHD is the result of these sensory processing impairments. Some ADHD symptoms can be controlled, reduced, or eliminated by addressing these sensory-motor components, regardless of any other interventions occurring at the time.  Primarily through the seven avenues of intervention, SPIs are often addressed as a professional service by occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech/language/hearing practitioners, and to a lesser extent, mental health professionals.

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Cite at least three action steps for responding to a child who is in sensory overload.
2. Describe at least three distinctive indicators of sensory overload.
3. Describe at least three methods to divert sensory seeking.
4. List at least three shortcomings of using distraction as an intervention for sensory seeking
5. Depict at least three “Go” steps when directing muscle movement or position.
6. List at least three de-stress steps to lessen sensory avoidance.

Module 3

Title: Psycho-social Interventions for ADHD

This fascinating webinar provides an overview of common struggles in the areas of social skills and interpersonal relationships faced by individuals who have ADHD, along with several avenues of intervention to alleviate those struggles. Dr. Taylor shows you how to gain rapport with parents, along with specific parenting approaches that are crucial for preventing the devastating self-control and interpersonal problems generated by children and teens with ADHD. Many hyperactive children alienate their peers, siblings and classmates by the time they have completed elementary school. Their most common complaint is that they don’t have enough friends.

This webinar presents you with dozens of helpful suggestions and insights for recognizing ADHD, including talent areas and tip-offs to hyperactivity. For parents, how to gain rapport, errors to help them avoid, helping the child experience healthy power and self-confidence, and refining parents leadership and discipline strategies. For the child and teen, Dr. Taylor shows how to help manage anger, resist temptations, improve friendship skills, sharpen decision-making, and become more organized for school and work. For the adult with ADHD, he portrays the six biggest risks they will face, how to eliminate pockets of chaos and improve day-to-day functioning, and how to help them cope more effectively with stress.

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Cite at least three action steps for gaining rapport with parents.
2. Describe at least three patterns of maladaptive parenting likely to occur among these parents.
3. Describe at least six hyperactivity indicators from early childhood.
4. List at least three methods for improving anger control in children with ADHD.
5. Depict at least six methods to sharpen organization and time management.
6. Describe at least four potentially devastating adjustment risks for adults with ADHD.

Module 4

Title: Academic Interventions for ADHD

This webinar provides an overview of common educational and classroom behavior challenges experienced by children and teens with ADHD, along with high-powered interventions to alleviate those challenges. Four out of five children with ADHD require modified classroom procedures in order to function well at school. A high percentage of students with ADHD also have learning disabilities, and the average hyperactive student usurps about 15% of the teacher’s total time and energy during a typical school day. Taking class notes is often a disaster for them. This webinar provides keys for stopping this huge energy depletion from teachers and opening the way for proficiency with homework and tests as well as attentive cooperation in class. Schools that fail to provide reasonable modifications as portrayed in this webinar seldom find students with ADHD to be productive and successful.

Dr. Taylor gives you practical strategies for use at home as well as in the classroom. You will learn how to help these students with daily as well as long-term assignments, sharpen their study methods for tests, and keep them motivated, alert and focused. He shows you specialized methods attuned to the cognitive characteristics unique to ADHD to help them take class notes, memorize information for tests, and study more efficiently at home.

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Describe the best lighting and location for students with ADHD to do homework.
2. Describe the organized notebook ideal for students with ADHD.
3. Use the calendar method to help these students with long-term assignments.
4. Explain the teacher’s ideal role when the student receives pharmaceutical treatment for ADHD.
5. List at least four methods for resolving squirming and fidgeting by the student in class.
6. Describe at least four components of the ideal method to improve the student’s ability to take class notes.
