ADHD Strategies: Family Training and Involvement
You could be the first person to provide your opinion.
When families and schools need a shared approach to everyday ADHD difficulties, Dr. Ronald T. Brown and fellow panelists examine realistic expectations, caregiver perspective taking, and support for using familiar skills across home, classroom, and social settings.
Presenter biography: Ronald T. Brown.
Family examples explore parenting disagreements, school advocacy, caregiver burnout, and the difference between understanding a child’s difficulty and agreeing with their behavior.
A child’s case connects school and home planning with classroom reinforcement, a discreet self-management folder, and student ratings checked against the teacher’s view.
The presenters skip several slides before the case, and the brief CBT and DBT examples offer an introduction rather than a full procedural training.
What does this recording cover?
- Parent role play and the unfamiliar-coin simulator illustrate perspective taking and manageable expectations.
- The discussion distinguishes knowing a skill from performing it consistently under everyday conditions.
- Social-skills examples connect instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with practice across settings.
- The classroom case examines escape from demands, adult reinforcement, and student self-ratings with teacher agreement checks.

This was very informative and it provided very concrete actions to implement with families.

Loved how there was more open discussion between the three presenters and less moderation. It felt less rushed.
