Individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD may face a barrage of internal difficulties. These difficulties may be particularly present in the area of Executive Functioning. Executive Functioning affects our ability to organise, problem solve, control our impulses, manage our emotions, etc. This can, in turn, cause academic difficulties and academic delays. Using the principles of ABA, combined with specific curriculum programs, mindfulness and awareness training, and other techniques, we can help these individuals to overcome their difficulties. The aim is to teach them to recognize when they are having difficulties and to advocate for themselves.
