Part 1: Understanding ADHD: New Criteria and Hidden Challenges (1.5HR)
The first part of the 3-part series is focused on assessment. ADHD is more than a checklist; it is a layered, evolving condition that requires curiosity, insight, and a sharp clinical eye. This lively, hands-on session dives into the latest updates in the DSM-5-TR and explores the hidden challenges that often complicate diagnosis and treatment across the life span. In Part 1 of this 3-part series, we will focus on assessment and the updated diagnostic criteria, navigate the gray areas of differential diagnosis, and sharpen your assessment skills using real-world case studies and multi-source strategies.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Summarize key intervention strategies and recognize next steps for developing individualized treatment plans.
- Describe updated DSM-5-TR criteria for ADHD and differentiate it from overlapping conditions.
- Identify overlooked ADHD features and discuss the value of a neurodiversity-informed approach.
