General CEU: ADHD in focus: What every BCBA needs to know for effective treatment

ADHD in focus: What every BCBA needs to know for effective treatment is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In ADHD in focus: What every BCBA needs to know for effective treatment, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.
