What does executive functioning support look like when you are the one running the session? In this PDU, we’ll explore executive functioning challenges in ADHD and how they show up when learners need to get started, stay organized, move between activities and finish what they started. RBTs will learn how to support task initiation and completion, break larger tasks into manageable steps, and use visual supports, prompts and reinforcement to build independence. We’ll focus on teaching the skill rather than doing it for the learner, fading prompts over time, and collecting data that helps the BCBA track progress. Throughout the session, we’ll clarify what falls within the RBT scope of practice and when to bring questions to the supervising BCBA.
Attend live and your official BACB PD form is issued after the session.

**Understanding ADHD: An RBT PDU Series** Following the success of our **ADHD Exchange CEU Series**, we wanted to create that same opportunity for RBTs through a dedicated PDU series. **Understanding ADHD** is designed to provide RBTs with practical, accessible education and support around understanding ADHD and applying that knowledge in their everyday practice. Across six cumulative PDUs, RBTs will explore ADHD characteristics, rapport building, attention and motivation, executive functioning and skill development, behavior support, and collaboration. Each session builds on the last, helping RBTs move from understanding ADHD to confidently supporting the learners they serve.
