ADHD and Technology: Lifelong Frenemies
Presented by Jeremy Sharp, PhD on 12-13-2022 at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 p.m. Eastern) to 11 a.m. Pacific (2 p.m. Eastern)
The relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and “technology” is a long and complicated one. To start, the term “technology” is quite broad. There are many aspects of technology that can be truly helpful for individuals with ADHD. At the same time, social media, video games, and other internet sites are doing their best to command ALL of people's attention, which can pose challenges for those with ADHD.
In this 2-hour continuing education webinar, Dr. Jeremy Sharp will focus on both facets of technology and ADHD--the helpful and not-so-helpful parts--so that mental health clinicians can feel more confident in their work with people who have ADHD. Dr. Sharp will cover the most up-to-date definition of ADHD, specify what counts as “technology,” discuss the neurobiology of screen time, explain how technology affects kids and adults differently, and outline effective strategies clinicians can use in therapeutic practice.
This continuing education webinar is designed to help mental health professionals:
- Describe current diagnostic information for ADHD in children and adults.
- Describe definitions of “technology” as it relates to ADHD.
- Explain the neurobiology of screen time.
- Describe differences in the impact of technology on children and on adults.
- Describe at least three strategies for therapeutic intervention with individuals diagnosed with ADHD.
