🔐Every behavior is a clue and your job is to find them. 🔐

In this live, interactive CE webinar, we’ll decode what ADHD behaviors are really telling us. Through experiential activities, real-time case puzzles, and applied neurobiology, you’ll explore how regulation, emotional processes, and executive functioning intersect in children and adolescents.

You’ll learn how to translate these clues into practical interventions using child-centered and directive play therapy approaches, while also strengthening how we support parents as they implement regulation and executive skill supports outside the playroom.
