For children with ADHD, the learning objectives of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with cognitive training include developing adaptive coping mechanisms, boosting goal-oriented behaviour, and strengthening impulse control and self-regulation abilities. In addition, the therapy seeks to improve problem-solving abilities, strengthen self-esteem, and address distorted thought patterns. CBT with cognitive training aims to assist people with ADHD in gaining efficient time management skills, effective organising abilities, and a positive outlook through targeted interventions and structured exercises. The main objective is to enable them to overcome obstacles in their daily lives, develop resilience, and enhance their general cognitive and emotional abilities.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the CBT principles, the underlying neurobiology.
Plan the therapeutic techniques, and its efficacy for children and adolescents with ADHD.
Gain hands-on experience in the process of the planning and implementation of therapy.
