ADHD isn’t just about attention—it’s about how the brain organizes, prioritizes, and acts. In this session, Dr. Ari Tuckman unpacks the concept of executive function, often referred to as the “hidden engine” behind ADHD. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how challenges with working memory, activation, planning, emotion regulation, and follow-through affect nearly every aspect of daily life. By connecting the science of executive function with real-world behaviors, this session bridges the gap between neurological insight and practical understanding—offering a fresh perspective on why adult ADHD is more than just distractibility.
