This presentation reviews the signs and symptoms of attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder among teens and young adults, and guides therapists on how to aid with early identification and intervention.

You will also learn about the ADHD evaluation process, important considerations for differential diagnosis, and how you can know when it’s time to refer for out testing. Furthermore, Dr. Blied will share tips and strategies your clients can utilize for self-management of impairing symptoms, along with how you can help reinforce these adaptive changes.
