CPD / CE / NBCC Hours: 1 for every module

This four-part series provides a panoramic overview of the aspects of ADHD that are particularly challenging for helping professionals to address and resolve. The series describes the psycho-social, physical, academic, and sensory-motor difficulties that comprise the multi-faceted assortment of symptoms and correlated impairments unique to each individual with ADHD.

The first webinar (Part 1) details the psycho-social and physiological challenges faced by the person with ADHD. The parents and the helping professionals must, of course, also face these same challenges and attempt to reduce their severity and impact. Parts 2, 3, and 4 bring into focus those challenges that emerge most strongly during the three age periods reflected in their titles: Infancy and childhood (Part 2), adolescence (Part 3), and adulthood (Part 4). Because the academic and sensory-motor challenges posed by ADHD become significant during the school years, they are discussed within the second webinar (Part 2).
