Advanced
Practicum in ADHD
Advanced Practicum in ADHD
This
Advanced Practicum is offered each
semester for students in the doctoral
program, It is designed for doctoral students who have
completed core practicum requirements and who wish to develop special expertise
in working with children and adolescents with ADHD.
This
practicum will consist of both clinical and didactic experiences related to the
assessment and treatment of ADHD. The clinical component will consist of
conducting one supervised assessment per week of a child or adolescent who has
been referred for an evaluation for ADHD. Students registered for this advanced
practicum will only be required to see children referred for ADHD as part of
this practicum and will not be required to see other types of cases if an
ADHD case is not scheduled on their clinic day. In cases where children referred
by the Shand's Interdisciplinary ADHD Program are assessed by advanced practicum
students, the student will present the case at the ADHD staffing conference to
obtain experience working with an interdisciplinary team. In addition to one
assessment case per week, students registered for this practicum will see at
least one supervised ADHD treatment cases during the semester in which they are
registered for practicum. This clinical experience will be supplemented by a
didactic component of the practicum where advanced practicum students will be
asked to read one assigned article per week that relates to some important aspect of ADHD
which will be discussed as part of the supervision process it terms of its
relevance to cases seen as part of the
advanced practicum.
It is
anticipated that I will be able to accommodate one advanced practicum students
per semester. This practicum must be scheduled for my Tuesday ADHD Specialty
Clinic to insure that an adequate number of ADHD cases are scheduled. This
Advanced ADHD Practicum meets child area specialty practicum requirement for
the area of concentration.
