Effective Time Management for ADHD Families

Teaching planning and prioritizing skills is crucial for children with ADHD to develop independence in managing their time. By learning to assess the time required for various activities, children can better organize tasks and improve their efficiency. Dr. Saline emphasizes the need for realistic approaches that align with the unique challenges of ADHD, such as time blindness, where individuals struggle to gauge the progression of time effectively. Incorporating techniques like backward planning helps students visualize their schedules, enabling them to allocate time wisely and approach tasks systematically.
