“Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)” is a six-page homework assignment designed to help clients recognize and manage the symptoms of ADHD. This resource provides a comprehensive overview of ADHD, including common challenges faced by adults with the disorder and the impact it can have on daily life. It outlines a detailed treatment protocol that includes medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes, offering practical strategies for improving focus, time management, and overall well-being. Use this material to guide your clients in reflecting on their experiences with ADHD and developing effective approaches to enhance their daily functioning and quality of life.

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this printable PDF worksheet gives clinicians a practical, session-ready tool. The conversational, encouraging tone makes clinical concepts accessible to clients at any stage of therapy, while structured prompts keep the work focused and productive.

How clinicians use it: as an in-session exercise to open and structure discussion, as between-session homework to reinforce skills, as a progress tool to track growth over time, and as part of a treatment unit paired with the companion lesson and PowerPoint on this topic. Formatted for easy printing and immediate use in individual or group settings.
