Hi Reader,
​
After realizing that my executive function training is not ADHD-friendly, I've been taking a deep dive into adult ADHD. In my first post, I hope to raise awareness about key points that we should know.

I'm planning on writing a follow-up article on what ADHD-friendly executive function training looks like. If you know of any good resources, please let me know!

New EST post

​11 things SLPs should know about adult ADHD. Executive function training would likely be more effective if delivered in an ADHD-friendly way. However, adults with ADHD are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

Learn why this is the case, why the diagnosis is controversial, and what to look for in their medical history. We can't diagnose ADHD, but we can offer ADHD-friendly treatment if it looks like it might be helpful!

(1) Arieh Smith (aka Xiaomanyc) has amazing linguistic skills. Check out this speech he gives to high school students in their native Gen Alpha slang. (And the speech he gives to linguistics professors at the end.)
​
(2) Can you believe we're still discovering body parts in the 2020s? Cancer researchers discovered new salivary glands in the nasopharynx! This could help improve outcomes for head & neck cancer.
​
(3) Accessible short-term rentals in the US and Canada. This site helps people with disabilities travel more easily. Great timing for summer trips!

Thanks for reading!
