Most clinicians were trained on a childhood picture of ADHD—the hyperactive boy who couldn’t sit still. The adults in your office look nothing like that. They’re often capable on the outside, exhausted underneath, and have spent years being told they don’t seem like they have ADHD. Many don’t know they have it at all.

This course is what adult ADHD looks like: how symptoms re-present in adulthood, why diagnosis gets missed across gender and presentation, how to take a developmental history that holds up, and how to work the differential when anxiety, depression, or trauma are sharing the frame. Then the part most trainings skip—what to do beyond the prescription pad. The scaffolding, the environmental design, the CBT-adapted work your clients need to build a life that functions.

Medication can turn up the signal. It can’t build the system. This course gives you the tools for the part that comes after the diagnosis—the clinical work that turns a label into a life that works.
