ADHD and Trauma Online Course
Instructor: Caelan Kuban, LMSW
This course, ADHD and Trauma will address trauma assessment and the differential diagnosis between ADHD and PTSD. Even for the most seasoned clinician, determining whether or not a child is experiencing symptoms and reactions related to a trauma experiences or ADHD comes with many challenges. This course explores many of the obstacles such as overlapping symptoms and common etiology of the two disorders. ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed and unfortunately one of the most misdiagnosed disorders today. The course begins with overviews of typical PTSD and ADHD diagnoses. However, since we know that very few children will present with “typical” or easy to diagnose disorders the course will then discuss etiology of both ADHD and PTSD in children. In addition, the course will present extensive research that has been conducted on the relationship between maltreatment and ADHD. Lastly, specific assessment recommendations and a case example support the importance of being trauma informed and providing comprehensive assessments to all children.
