Join Free →In this journal club, we'll explore an ADHD intervention outside the field of applied behavior analysis, identify the overlapping science with ABA, and determine if "if-then plans" are an evidenced-based practice for children with ADHD. You'll learn about executive functions like inhibition, task shifting, and working memory, how these skills affect performance on stop signal tasks, and implications for students or clients with ADHD. 10-15 minutes will be reserved after the journal article for an open Q&A on best practices for ADHD intervention.
