Managing ADHD: Improving Focus, Attention, and Distracting Behaviors
Understanding ADHD and the common behaviors associated with ADHD creates opportunties for greater self control. This group helps participants identify their ADHD triggers and halt behavioral accelerations.
The six clusters of ADHD symptom management are covered in this group, and they include:
1) Organizing, prioritizing and activating for tasks;
2) Focusing, sustaining and shifting attention,
3) Regulating alertness, sustaining effort and processing speed;
4) Managing frustration and modulating emotions;
5) Utilizing working memory and accessing recall abilities; and
6) Self-monitoring and regulating behavior.
ADHD brains are wired differently. Because of neuroplasticity, we know that we can rewire our brains to gain new skills and strengthen response inhibition, delay gratification, and exert the kind of control needed to productively engage in different environments.
