Sharon Saline, PsyD, discusses how listening to and working with the voices of kids diagnosed with ADHD can improve family cooperation and success. She has created a unique, strength-based approach called The 5 Cs of ADHD Parenting that helps families improve self-Control, Compassion, Collaboration, Consistency, and Celebration. Her collaborative approach integrates mindfulness, cognitive therapy, and positive psychology while teaching effective skills to reduce the stress in families’ lives.
In this session, you’ll learn about options beyond getting a job and going to college that give your teenager’s brain more time to mature and simultaneously provide an opportunity for exploration of career interests. In addition, participants will learn about creating a personalized gap year program for their teen, easing into the college experience at a community college, and the value of specialized professional or vocational college programs.
Slow processing speed is evident in approximately 60% of children diagnosed with ADHD.
