Program Summary:

Diagnosis (and misdiagnosis!) of ADHD has been on the rise. Providers in outpatient settings often encounter clients reporting symptoms of this diagnosis and are faced with the task of determining whether ADHD is present and how to best proceed. This presentation will equip outpatient therapists with the skills necessary to accurately assess ADHD. This includes differentiating between ADHD and diagnoses with overlapping symptoms, assessments or instruments that are appropriate for an outpatient setting, and what providers can do to support a client in accessing more detailed psychological assessment, possible medication management, etc. Providers will understand what they can (and can’t) do directly with their clients in an outpatient setting, and their role in making sure clients receive the diagnosis and care that supports symptom management.

Learning Objectives:

  • Providers will be able to identify which instruments they can (and can’t) apply in an outpatient setting to assess and diagnose ADHD.

  • Providers will be able to summarize the differences in outpatient assessment and what would be included in more advanced psychological assessments.

  • Providers will be able to integrate their outpatient care with other providers to help clients access care (and prescribed medications) to address ADHD symptoms and diagnosis.
