than the traditional triad of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The course will
cover the full range of symptoms experienced by people with ADHD and their families—
including over-reactions, brakeless behaviors, easy frustration, disorganization, and
“future blindness.” Special emphasis will be given to the concepts of executive function;
and to co-morbidities such as autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, anxieties,
OCD, tics, depression, bipolar depression, sensory integration disorder, and central
auditory processing. Dr. Kutscher empathically summarizes how to identify and
differentiate these co-occurring issues. Behavioral therapy at home, organizational
support at home and school, and medication treatments will be discussed.
Learning objectives for participants:
-Understand the role of executive function problems in ADHD (such as organization and
inhibition difficulties).
-Recognize other co-occurring conditions of the syndrome mix of autistic spectrum
disorders, anxiety/OCD spectrum disorders, tics, depression, bipolar depression, sensory
integration disorder, and central auditory processing disorders.
-Understand the role of behavioral interventions, including: keeping it positive and
keeping it calm.
-Understand educational interventions for ADHD, including organizational and study skills.
-Understand the need for continued intervention to provide an ongoing “safety net.”
-Understand the role of medications in ADHD and co-morbid conditions.
