When Worrying Takes Over: Helping Kids with ADHD overcome anxiety and build resiliency.
RESEARCHILD’S 35th Annual Learning Differences Virtual Conference
The connections between executive function, stress, persistence and school performance. Presentations will integrate research, clinical practice, and teaching, with an emphasis on executive function strategies that benefit all students from K-12 and beyond.
Living in a world that’s increasingly unpredictable, today’s kids are more anxious than ever before. For kids with ADHD, worry and fear can increase their agitation, distractedness and impulsivity and make things seem worse than they are. Dr. Saline, author of What your ADHD child wishes you knew: Working together to empower kids in school and life, discusses how anxiety works and what parents, coaches and clinicians can do to help kids reduce their worries. After reviewing the physiology and psychology of anxiety, she will show you how to help kids with ADHD change their relationship to worry and avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking. Instead of reassurance and rationalization, you will learn techniques for separating the person from the anxiety, talking to the worry itself and creating effective responses to ‘what ifs’. Dr. Saline shares excerpts from interviews with kids with ADHD about issues such as insomnia, social concerns and avoidance to give you unusual insight into their perspectives. She offers tools for teaching them how to realistically evaluate situations, tolerate uncertainty and calm down. When young people with ADHD gain these skills, they bounce back confidently with more independence and much less worry.
Learning Objectives:
-
Describe how anxiety works in the brain and body and its relationship to executive functioning skills
-
Identify and reduce patterns of negative thinking
-
Develop the ability to externalize anxiety and reduce its influence
-
Learn practical tools for dealing with kids’ specific worries
-
Identify and develop areas of resiliency
Dates: October 8, 2020 at 7:00pm – October 10, 2020 at 2:30pm
All conference attendees will have access to Dr. Sharon Saline’s pre-recorded concurrent session for a limited time between October 11th – October 25th.

Managing Big Feelings
2020 Parenting ADHD Summit
29 of the world’s ADHD and parenting experts share the most effective symptom management, parenting strategies on decoding and improving behavior, addressing challenges for neuro-atypical kids, creating joy, nutrition, social struggles, empowering your child for success, and so much more.
“Managing Big Feelings” by Dr. Sharon Saline
Big feelings can be a challenge to manage for kids with ADHD and/or autism — kids who are often more sensitive and likely don’t have the self-awareness, regulation, and emotional communication skills to appropriately navigate their emotions. Plus, parents can struggle with big feelings, too. Sharon Saline, PsyD, discusses how to help our kids navigate and regulate their big emotions, and how parents can remain calm to keep everyone’s big emotions from becoming explosive.

You’ve Got This: Motivating and Supporting Neurodiverse Students with Online Learning
Do you know children and teens with ADHD, ASD or learning disabilities who have a tough time starting and completing things they have to do? Are you wondering about how these students will fare as we blend in-person and online education? Successfully motivating and supporting these students in hybrid learning relies on a strength-based collaborative approach that includes them in creating solutions to academic challenges. In this seminar, Dr. Sharon Saline and Brittany Burek, M.A., Ph.D. candidate, will explore the challenges of online learning for neurodiverse students and offer effective strategies for how clinicians and health care professionals can better support their online learning. You’ll gain tools for helping young people from kindergarten to post-secondary school develop personal accountability, stronger executive functioning skills and increased levels of independence. When they have these appropriate levels of support both at home and at school, they’ll embrace new educational challenges with more confidence and resilience.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be better able to:
1. Identify the particular challenges of online learning for students with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
2. Describe how to teach and improve motivation, goal-directed persistence, time management, and organizational skills for hybrid learning.
3, Determine appropriate levels of scaffolding (both adult and technology) to best aid a student’s online learning.
Dates: October 25, 2020, 3:30pm to 4:30pm EDT.

Building better brains: How improving executive
functioning skills fosters social, emotional and academic success
at the Bridge Training Institute
Would you like practical tools to help kids harness their natural potential, reduce stress and get things done with less arguing and more cooperation? Whether it’s academics, social challenges, mental health issues or technology, many children and teens struggle with feeling overwhelmed and can’t seem to keep up, especially those young people with ADHD, high-functioning ASD or learning disabilities. In this dynamic and interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to navigate their complex mix of biology, behavior and emotion and strengthen essential executive functioning skills to improve both home and school experiences.
With current research on the developing brain and real-life case examples, Dr.
Saline shows you why executive functioning skills are critical to learning and
development and how stress and anxiety negatively impact them. Innovative tools to improve focus, organization, planning and motivation will also be covered. Throughout the workshop, exercises are designed to improve participants’ understanding of living with learning differences, how to assist kids and their families with these challenges and opportunities to brainstorm about your specific clinical and/or classroom issues.
By focusing on a strength-based, positive psychology approach and including
kids’ voices in problem-solving, participants will learn how to create effective
interventions that go beyond medication and crisis management. You will leave this workshop with tangible strategies for identifying and nurturing cognitive strengths in young people to help them overcome daily challenges and improve their home and school experiences.
Dates: March 5, 2021
