This was an excellent episode. Learned so so much. Can you do an episode specifically on ADHD medications? Differences between stim.vs non stim...anti anxiety meds etc.
I just found this podcast today. This series has been extremely validating. I have bachelor's in social work & have ADHD myself. I had an ADHD coach as an adult for three years and it made an enormous difference for me. However, I am not able to provide that for my children now because of cost. To the best of my knowledge, my insurance would not pay for ADHD coaching, which is the number one thing I want for my kids to help them with ADHD. I have 5 kids with ADHD and we all need ADHD coaching! But without insurance coverage, I don't know how that could ever happen. Please share information with me if the situation is different.
Thank you for watching! The first line evidence-based treatment for children with ADHD is parent training (provided through the membership site) in conjunction with medication management. You can read the evidence here: www.effectivechildtherapy.org (type ADHD in search bar).
Wonderful and informative episode! Can you do an episode on recommendations for school accommodations? For example, you talked about the 'weekly reward chart' and how it doesn't work since rewards should be immediate and intrinsic. What would that look like? My son's teacher is really struggling with the behaviours and has finally agreed to stop taking away recess as a consequence. I was also hoping the teacher could start a positive reinforcement system like the weekly reward, but after hearing you guys explain it, now I'm not sure. An episode on what teachers can do in the class and how parents can initiate that discussion would be great. I'm in Canada, executive function coaching is not widespread in my area unfortunately so it's been a struggle to find support that makes an impact.
Thank you for this episode! I live outside of Boston and after I listened I started doing some research on Parent Behavior Training in my area, and I haven't been able to find much for in person supports. What is the best way to find this type of practitioner?

Echoing on the medication! My son is on Adderall 10mg and it’s been helping tremendously but it seems to cause some tics, not sure if nonstimulant will help as much??
Is unstructured play relevant for 16 and up? ( I don’t know, reading, cooking, weightlifting, ) What would that look like? Or is it mostly important in the developmental years?

They tend to be not as effective, but I would suggest asking about viloxazine (Quelbree)

Sure, executive functioning still develops through the early 20s
