Creative interventions for children with ADHD

Learn engaging, directive play therapy techniques to support attention, behaviour, and regulation in children with ADHD.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ranks among the most prevalent disorders diagnosed in children. While there are many different approaches to treatment, creative interventions for children with ADHD—particularly directive play therapy techniques—can help remediate skill deficits such as impulsivity, hyperactivity, and poor attention span.

This training will highlight the diagnostic features of ADHD and present practical, engaging strategies to help children aged 4 to 12 years:

• Improve impulse control.
• Increase attention and focus.
• Slow down the mind and body.
• Identify constructive ways to use energy.
• Utilize strategies to shift from one activity to the next.
• Increase pro-social behaviour.
• Improve academic performance for in-person and online school.
• Learn interventions for parents and teachers to increase positive behavior at home and school.

Facilitated by Liana Lowenstein, this session also includes ways to optimize online therapy sessions for children with ADHD. The training combines lecture, activity demonstrations, and experiential exercises to bring each technique to life.
