ADHD Management Strategies for Adolescents and Adults
You could be the first person to provide your opinion.
For families and professionals considering ADHD support beyond childhood, Dr. Ronald T. Brown and fellow panelists examine everyday demands at work and college, using a fictional barista case, academic-support examples, and discussions of memory, organization, and self-management.
Presenter biography: Ronald T. Brown.
Certificate of Completion. This session does not offer BACB continuing education (CE) credit.
The fictional barista case explores workplace conflict, memory difficulties, and negative self-beliefs alongside visual lists, role play, behavioral skills training, and self-advocacy.
College examples include lecture notes and a peer note-sharing arrangement, while the executive-function discussion covers working memory, inhibition, self-monitoring, and motivation.
Many examples still concern younger children, and the executive-function section does not provide a full intervention protocol for each difficulty.
What does this recording cover?
- The panel compares symptom descriptions with demands in school, employment, and relationships.
- Environmental comparisons examine learning difficulties and difficulty demonstrating an acquired skill.
- The fictional workplace case uses external memory aids and rehearsal to explore job-related support.
- The research discussion addresses a 1982 response-cost and Ritalin study and acknowledges its limitations.
Recording context: The recording date is not supplied. Research and medication discussions reflect the evidence and examples used in this historical session.

The training was very well presented and informative. The case study was extremely helpful

I appreciated how the group of panelists ensured that the medical, social, and behavior aspects were all covered. If there were time, maybe additional case studies to demonstrate differences in treatment would be useful.
