A Neurodevelopmental Approach to Culturally Competent Assessment of ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairing symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention that is frequently diagnosed in youth and young adults. Misdiagnosis and undertreatment of ADHD are serious burdens for younger patients at risk, as the absence of preventative treatment may ensue long-lasting effects into adulthood. Recent advancements in the ADHD literature have optimized our understanding of evaluation and intervention. This presentation will highlight some of the current research on etiology, multimodal assessment, and evidence-based treatment (EBT) in youth and young adults with ADHD (i.e., ages 3-25), with particular emphasis on cultural competence in professional practice and neurobehavioral correlates resulting in ADHD pathogenesis.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. identify at least two biopsychosocial correlates regarding ADHD pathogenesis identified in recent research literature.
2. summarize treatment and assessment considerations in at least one of the following patient populations: (1) early childhood (preschool and school-aged), (2) adolescence, or (3) young adulthood.
3. analyze at least two aspects of current theoretical and empirical knowledge regarding how elements of diversity interact with the assessment and treatment of individuals diagnosed with ADHD.
4. formulate at least one step participants can take to integrate and apply their increased empirical knowledge of ADHD to their clinical practice and other professional roles.
