Communication deficits are often overlooked in people with ADHD, while research estimates that 50-60% of individuals with ADHD experience difficulties with communication. Executive function skills are critical to effective communication as we rely on our EF skills to process and organize information, regulate our emotions and behavior, and adjust our communication style based on our communicative partner. As an educator with ADHD, parent of an ADHD teen and speech-language pathologist with over 30 years of experience, I have seen the impact that ADHD plays on communication skills. My clients demonstrate communication challenges that interfere with social interactions, from difficulty with perspective taking, and maintaining attention to conversational partners, to interrupting or dominating conversations. These communication challenges can be harrowing for people with ADHD, affecting social interactions and relationships alike. This 1-hour seminar will explore the impact ADHD can have on communication. We will review strategies to identify ADHD/EF-related communication deficits as well as tools to increase effective communication strategies: maintaining attention during conversations, initiating, maintaining and completing conversations, asking and responding to questions, using, reading and responding to non-verbal communication, understanding and utilizing effective perspective taking, and managing emotions and impulses during communication exchanges.
