ADHD & Learning Disorders
What Are ADHD and Learning Disorders?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and learning disorders can affect the way a person learns, focuses, organizes information, manages tasks, or functions at school, work, or home.
ADHD can involve difficulties with attention, organization, impulse control, activity level, or managing competing demands. Learning disorders can affect specific academic skills, such as reading, writing, or mathematics.
These challenges can look different from person to person. They can affect children, adolescents, and adults and may influence academic performance, relationships, work, and self-confidence.
How Can Therapy Help?
Therapy can help individuals better understand how ADHD or learning-related challenges affect their daily lives and develop practical strategies for managing those challenges.
Treatment may focus on:
- Developing organization and time-management skills
- Improving attention and task management
- Developing strategies for managing distractions
- Building coping skills for frustration and stress
- Strengthening communication and relationship skills
- Addressing self-esteem and confidence concerns
- Developing strategies for academic or workplace challenges
- Building on individual strengths and abilities
Treatment is individualized based on the person’s age, needs, strengths, and goals.
