Interventions for ADHD That Go Beyond Medication: Regulating the ADHD child

Australia · CEU points & talks · Psychologists

While medication remains a central component of ADHD treatment, many families and clinicians seek effective behavioural and emotional regulation strategies that complement pharmacological approaches. In this informative and practical webinar, Dr Lorian Phillips presents a targeted, parent-focused intervention designed to support children and adolescents with ADHD in managing emotional dysregulation.

Beginning with an overview of the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and a discussion of executive functioning and neurobiological underpinnings of ADHD, Dr Phillips examines the common therapy challenges faced by clinicians working with this population. She outlines how impulsivity and emotional reactivity often manifest in day-to-day life, affecting both the child and the broader family system.

The second half of the webinar provides practical, evidence-informed tools for therapists and caregivers. These include strategies for teaching emotional regulation, co-regulation techniques for parents, and activities that strengthen the child’s capacity for self-control and stress tolerance.
