Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA
This course reviews the many ways that a lifetime of ADHD can impact a
person’s life. This is important for clinicians working with ADHD adults to
know, partly for your own understanding, but also to help clients understand
their ADHD. The second section involves educating clients about the many
ways that ADHD has affected their life trajectories. This goes beyond the
obvious academic difficulties and includes current functioning as well,
offering less pejorative explanations for their weaknesses. This education
is a crucial first step in the treatment of ADHD in adults and builds the
foundation for medication, coaching, and therapy.
