    Concept of Time

    I am wondering about ideas to improve the concept of time, and mastery of time internalization for adults with ADHD.

    I practice in pediatrics, but find that many of the parents I work with have diagnosed or un-diagnosed ADHD.  It seems

    to me that ADHD is really a disability of time management and mastery.  This creates many difficulties with trying to help

    their children develop structure, self-discipline and organizational strategies. In light of the floor -time model, are there

    creative ideas that this group of therapist’s and educators have found for this issue?
