Overview

This workshop aims to provide knowledge and practical tools to deliver 'parent training' - an evidence-based intervention recommended in the Australian Clinical Guidelines for ADHD.  Parent training is an  intervention that targets the needs of children and adolescents with ADHD, through working directly with their parents (or carers).  

This workshop is relevant for any psychologist working with children with ADHD and will provide the opportunity to improve outcomes by providing the parent training intervention to parents/carers.
