ADHD, Sensory Processing and Executive Functioning
When: Phase 1: Pre-Course recording with 6-hour credit
Phase 2: “Live” online June 27 to 29, 2024 (18-hour credit)
Description
This online workshop will consist of 2 components: a pre-recorded course of 6 hours that would be required to be viewed at the participants convenience from May 1, 2024 through May 31, 2024. Both the recordings and the three-day workshop will be with Chinese translation. Maude will cover the current trends and thinking around ADHD and the different components of ADHD. The developmental hierarchy of executive functions will be discussed in greater depth with multiple ideas about “what to do about it”. The workshop participant will leave the workshop equipped with practical ideas that will enhance the functions of their clients. Maude will also share her Executive Functioning Questionnaire, which will be used as group exercise with video through a “lab” experience. This workshop will provide the theory and the research, but it also would be practical in terms of providing accommodations as well as intervention for these troubled students.

I appreciate the way Maude presents her courses, in a concise and precise way, combining research and evidence-based approaches. I feel supported and I always finish the classes with a lot of new ideas and food for thought.

Thank you, Maude, for a very informative and thorough course on ADHD and Executive Functioning. As a parent of kids with ADD and / or Executive Functioning challenges, it has been invaluable. My understanding of working memory, attention and executive functioning and their inter-dependence has improved by leaps and bounds. I have no doubt that all the professionals involved in the webinar will be enhancing greatly the quality of therapy their clients will be receiving. And I know what questions to ask of them and understand better why certain therapies are employed.
