The ADHD Toolkit: Strategies for Learning, Behaviour and Self-Regulation at Home, School, and Beyond

Presented by Tracy Whittaker-Taggart, M.A.

 This engaging and practical workshop provides educators, clinicians, and caregivers with a deeper understanding of ADHD and the tools needed to support children and youth effectively. Participants will examine the neuroscience of ADHD, executive functioning, motivation, and emotional regulation before exploring practical strategies that promote success in classrooms, homes, and therapeutic settings.

Designed to bridge research and practice, participants will leave with an extensive toolkit of realistic, evidence-informed strategies that can be applied immediately to improve attention, organization, behaviour, engagement, and independence.

  • Identify common myths and misconceptions about ADHD and replace them with current evidence-informed understanding.
  • Apply practical strategies that educators, mental health professionals, and caregivers can use to support children and youth with ADHD.
  • Implement evidence-informed approaches that improve engagement, organization, task completion, emotional regulation, and independence across home and school settings.

Tracy Whittaker-Taggart, M.A., is a Psychologist, educator, mentor, and champion of changing the way we think about kids. She is also a wife, daughter, pet mom, and never far from the ocean.  For more than 25 years she has built a career at the intersection of Psychology, education, and practice. Tracy has worked in the public school system for her entire career, while also balancing private practice work, teaching graduate education courses for both teachers and psychologists and giving back to the profession through her work on the provincial regulatory board and supervising students and early career psychologists. Tracy believes that lasting change doesn’t begin with a new strategy, it begins with a new understanding. She believes that curiosity about behavior comes before the intervention. When we change the way we think about behavior, we naturally make different decisions about how we intervene .

Tracy will bring together psychology, brain based understanding and educational practice to help anyone working with dysregulated children and youth to simply ask better questions, to drive better interventions. When you attend one of Tracy’s workshops, expect to challenge your thinking, walk away with strategies to use tomorrow, and have a little fun along the way.
