5 reasons why you should take my ADHD course
Like you, my BCBA coursework did not prepare me to work with kids with ADHD.
When I worked with my first ADHD client in school, I wasn’t fully prepared to tackle all the impulsive, disruptive behavior: frequently getting up and moving around the classroom, blurting out, etc. I wasn’t feeling successful with the token economies that had worked with other students (who didn’t have ADHD). Online CEUs were hard to find, at least back then. And the CEUs I took felt like they were just scratching the surface.
Here are a few compelling reasons why you should take my training (available later this year) and why it will be different from ones you’ve taken before or have thought about taking:
I have ADHD
I was diagnosed in my late 30s. Hind-sight is 20/20. I’ve immersed myself in the adult ADHD community for support and through my trainings offer you my personal insights on inattentive ADHD (the type I have). My own personal experiences and the feedback from peers has driven so much of my passion and desire to get comprehensive supports out there. Another way to look at it: ADHD intervention has become my hyperfocus.
Specialised ADHD focus beyond Autism training
Many BCBAs receive extensive training on autism but may feel less prepared to support clients with ADHD. My classes offer in-depth ADHD-specific strategies that go beyond general behavior management, equipping BCBAs with practical tools tailored to ADHD challenges like impulsivity, emotional regulation, and executive functioning deficits.
Evidence-Based Techniques for Real-World Impact
ADHD often requires unique interventions, including strategies for improving attention, reducing hyperactive behaviors, and supporting organizational skills. My course introduces BCBAs to evidence-based approaches that can make a tangible difference in the lives of clients with ADHD, supporting them in daily routines, school, and social settings.
Training in Executive Function and Self-Regulation Skills
Executive function skills are critical for individuals with ADHD, yet they’re not always covered in traditional behavior analysis training. My classes delve into tools to support self-monitoring, planning, and emotional regulation, giving BCBAs a broader skill set to address these crucial areas for ADHD clients.
My kids have ADHD so I know what parents are going through
ADHD impacts the whole family. My classes help BCBAs learn techniques to engage parents and caregivers from the perspective of a parent with ADHD parenting kids with ADHD. My guidance is unique.
