Description
Since ADHD is increasingly referred to by clinicians, educators, and medical professionals as a disorder of self-regulation and executive functioning, it is logical to begin developing a neuropsychological approach to understanding, evaluating, and treating this condition. A pattern of specific cognitive and neuropsychological processes could be incorporated into a future diagnostic protocol for ADHD
and could assist school psychologists in better understanding the impairments and functional problems individuals with ADHD demonstrate. This advanced presentation will provide an overview
of ADHD and the measurement of attention, self-regulation and related executive functions. An overview of the emerging intervention research will be included.
