About This Course

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental impairment of the brain’s self-management system known as executive functions. This disorder is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed disorders affecting both children and adults. In this webinar, we will delve into what ADHD is, the signs and symptoms, as well as the reasoning behind these misdiagnoses. We will cover the role that gender stereotypes play in the rate at which boys and girls are diagnosed and the impact it can have on their self-esteem and mental health. We will also talk about the different ways ADHD can present itself in children versus adults and why it is not uncommon for individuals to get diagnosed later in life. Lastly, we will cover some of the different skills and treatment options an individual can receive to help manage their executive functioning impairment.
