Core ingredients in evidence-based interventions for ADHD
Duration: 13 mins
Description
In this talk, David Daley explores the key aspects of psychological interventions for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He addresses the challenges that parents face and highlights strategies that can ensure positive outcomes for children with ADHD. Contrary to popular belief, Daley discusses how waiting for interventions does not necessarily lead to negative outcomes and how this waiting period can sometimes yield positive results. He emphasizes the importance of understanding that ADHD is not solely a result of parental shortcomings, aiming to dispel this myth and empower parents to focus on effective interventions rather than blaming themselves. Daley also tackles the challenges parents face when raising a child with ADHD, from managing impulsivity and hyperactivity to navigating academic difficulties. He provides practical strategies and tools that can assist parents in supporting their child's development. This talk is an opportunity to explore key psychological interventions for ADHD, challenge the myth of parental deficits, and equip parents with the knowledge and strategies they need for positive outcomes.
