Description

Behavior charts, social skills training, positive reinforcement, behavior contracts, rewards and consequences … you’ve tried everything to make progress with a child or adolescent diagnosed with ADHD with little persistent success. Gains made in therapy or the classroom seem to be short-lived, leaving you feeling frustrated and ineffective.

You need a new approach – one that gets to the root of the problem to create meaningful change!

Watch ADHD expert Dr. Sharon Saline in this intensive 2-day live webcast packed with practical tools and techniques you can use immediately with children, adolescents and their families to improve behavior, gain cooperation and repair relationships. Using a strength-based, collaborative approach that synthesizes neurobiology, behavior and emotion, you can create effective, powerful interventions for kids and families that go far beyond medication and crisis management.

Your toolbox will be overflowing with concrete, practical strategies that:

  • Reduce meltdowns and conflicts at home and school
  • Improve kids’ personal insight, judgment, impulse control and organization
  • Create a family-centered plan that the client will buy into
  • Address the shame, stress and anxiety that often accompany ADHD
  • Empower parents and other caregivers to be a part of the solution

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to transform your perspective and everyday approach with children and adolescents with ADHD!
