Title: Understanding and Reducing Stress in Children with ADHD and Learning Disabilities
Date: Thursday, 30th January 2025
Time: 8 PM (via Zoom)
Investment: €30
Children and adolescents with Learning Disabilities (LD) or ADHD often face unique challenges that expose them to chronic stress. This stress not only impacts their emotional well-being but also interferes with their ability to learn and thrive. At Sensational Kids, we are thrilled to present an enlightening webinar led by Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D., a renowned Clinical Neuropsychologist and Harvard Medical School faculty member, to shed light on these critical issues and provide practical solutions.
Webinar Overview
Dr. Schultz will unpack the neuroscience behind stress responses in children with LD and ADHD, exploring why their repeated experiences with failure lower their threshold for stress. Using his signature engaging style, complete with relatable stories and stress-reducing cartoons, he will offer actionable strategies to break the cycle of frustration and failure.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why children with LD and ADHD are more susceptible to stress.
- How chronic stress impairs learning and leads to emotional difficulties.
- The impact of neurochemicals triggered by stress and how they create a self-defeating cycle.
- Practical, no-cost strategies you can implement immediately to help children cope with stress and thrive.
- Insights into the DE-STRESS Model of Intervention, as introduced in Dr. Schultz’s acclaimed book, Nowhere to Hide: Why Kids with ADHD and LD Hate School and What We Can Do About It.
This session is not only for educators and therapists but also for parents and caregivers eager to understand the challenges faced by their children and to support them more effectively.
About Dr. Jerome J. Schultz
Dr. Schultz began his career as a special education teacher before transitioning into neuropsychology. For over four decades, he has worked tirelessly to assess and support children with LD, ADHD, and other special needs. Currently, he serves as an international consultant and content expert at organisations like Understood.org and ADDitudemag.com. His expertise is widely recognised, with contributions to ADDitude Magazine and Scientific American.
Dr. Schultz’s approach combines rigorous scientific knowledge with heartfelt empathy for children and their families. His work continues to shape how educators and caregivers address the stress-related challenges that hinder learning and development.
Why This Webinar Matters
Children with LD or ADHD often internalise labels such as “stupid” or “dumb,” leading to chronic stress that further exacerbates their challenges. Without proper support and understanding, they may act out, tune out, or drop out. Dr. Schultz’s insights will empower you with tools to break this cycle and help these children build confidence and resilience.
Key Topics:
- The connection between stress and neurocognitive function.
- The phenomenon of “Saving F.A.S.E.” and its relevance for children with special needs.
- How to teach children about their conditions and help them leverage their strengths.
