Picture the scene: Your ADHD kid (or one you work with) is doing homework. It should take 10 minutes tops, but instead it takes an hour because…

• They need a drink
• Then a snack
• Then they’re spinning in the chair
• They have to tell you about the funny thing that happened at school
• They need to change positions
• Then they’re overwhelmed
• Then they’re shutting down and saying, “I can’t do this.”

For kids with ADHD, things like homework can be a real challenge because of these hidden skills that we take for granted:

⚠️ Task initiation

⚠️ Perseverance

⚠️ Self-awareness

The beauty of these skills is that you can improve them.

There’s a lot of exciting research on how we can go deeper and build these executive functioning skills in the brain. In a totally fun way!

Our long time friend and fellow pediatric OT Alisha, over at Your Kid’s Table, is sharing key evidence-based strategies for any kid struggling with executive functioning in her new AOTA approved workshop:

​Unlocking ADHD: 5 Brain-Body Strategies that Work​

ADHD is about soooo much more than attention and hyperactivity. The strategies Alisha shares are essential for supporting our ADHD kids and helping us focus on their strengths - which there are plenty of!

The workshop is currently closed, but Alisha is opening it up exclusively for our Inspired Treehouse community for the next 5 days.

​Get the workshop here, you can watch it here now! ​

Whether you live or work with kids with ADHD, this workshop is full of valuable information for back to school and beyond. Sign up today and you'll be all set with fresh treatment ideas and strategies (some of which will totally surprise you!)
