This training provides vocational rehabilitation (VR) professionals and other workforce system professionals with a biopsychosocial perspective on how ADHD manifests in adulthood, and the various ways this can influence workplace behavior and performance. Participants will explore how ADHD, long assumed to affect only children, can shift in symptoms and show up differently across adulthood, and the impact this can have on their career path and work performance. Resources and strategies will be introduced to help VRCs and other practitioners foster engagement through a supportive and psychologically safe environment while maintaining focus on employment goals.
CRC and CVE credits have been approved for this webinar.
