Get It Done: How to Help Clients with ADHD (& Others) Improve Productivity

One of the biggest complaints from (and about) adults with ADHD is their struggles with productivity. This has significant repercussions in academic, professional, personal, and interpersonal functioning. Better tools and systems, like online calendars with reminders, can be helpful, but these clients often struggle to use them consistently, frustrating themselves, their family, and their therapist. What gets in the way between the intention and the action?

This strategy-loaded presentation will enable you to more effectively help clients with ADHD address the various mental barriers to productivity, such as tempting rationalizations, tackling dreaded tasks, fake productivity, deadline stress, and perfectionism. While focused on working with clients with ADHD, much of this will be beneficial with other clients in your caseload.

This program is designed for psychologists, professional counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and graduate-level clinicians who provide therapy or assessment services to neurodivergent children and adolescents.

The content included in this training is provided at an Intermediate to Advanced level. A solid understanding of general traits of neurodivergent children and teens and basic tenets of neurodiversity-affirming therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy are required to fully benefit from this training.
