Many of us struggle getting through all the tasks we need to complete in our lives. The obstacles blocking us might involve our attention, motivation, self-regulation, memory, planning, or problem solving. These areas of executive function can be particularly difficult for those of us with ADHD. If simply “trying harder” hasn’t worked for you, this workshop is an opportunity to learn about ways you can work with your brain, rather than fight against it.


Difficulties with executive function are not character flaws, but reflect ways in which our brains are wired differently. We will learn about the relationship between ADHD and executive function, and review specific methods some people have found effective in supporting their executive functioning. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, so we will also explore how to think creatively about ourselves and our challenges, so we can draw on our own experiences and strengths to create effective, personalized strategies.
