Course Description:

Every day, students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges walk into our classrooms carrying invisible burdens—struggling to remember directions, stay on task, regulate emotions, and keep up with peers. These aren’t signs of laziness or defiance; they are signs of unmet neurological needs. This course is designed to help educators see beyond behavior, recognize the impact of executive skill deficits, and respond with compassion, clarity, and confidence. Grounded in the work of leading experts Dr. Russell Barkley and Drs. Karen Fried & Melissa Mullin, this course blends the science of ADHD and executive functioning with practical, ready-to-use classroom strategies. Participants will not only learn how to recognize the signs of dysregulation and lagging executive skills, but also how to build systems that foster independence, resilience, and success. Whether you're a classroom teacher, coach, or administrator, this course offers a powerful opportunity to create a learning environment where every  student—especially those who struggle the most—feels understood, supported, and capable.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will identify and describe the core characteristics of ADHD and executive functioning (EF), including how EF deficits affect behavior, attention, and academic performance in classroom settings.  
  • Participants will analyze case scenarios to distinguish between ADHD-related behaviors and specific executive functioning challenges such as task initiation, working memory, and impulse control.  
  • Participants will select and implement appropriate interventions based on student needs, using evidence-based tools and techniques from Barkley’s and Fried & Mullin’s frameworks to support attention, regulation, and independence.  
  • Participants will review and assess the impact of selected accommodations and strategies by analyzing student response data and reflecting on behavioral and academic outcomes.  
  • Participants will develop a support plan for one or more students or for a whole-class setting, integrating instructional routines, visual supports, and coaching practices to build executive functioning skills and manage ADHD-related challenges.
