Poster Session | Building Bridges: Empowering ADHD Kids in School Settings
Description
This poster session shares the school-based implementation of a holistic, multimodal ADHD support program designed to reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence in children. Piloted at a private elementary school serving students with learning differences and high ADHD prevalence, the six-week after-school program served children in grades 1 through 4. The structured sessions integrated tools such as mindfulness, EFT Tapping, brain gym exercises, expressive arts, cognitive reframing, and guided visualizations. The poster outlines the design and structure of the program, practical strategies for implementation in a school setting, and student engagement highlights. Visual examples and qualitative feedback from educators and caregivers showcase early outcomes in reduced anxiety, improved self-worth, and greater classroom participation. This session invites school professionals, therapists, and program developers to explore how interdisciplinary partnerships can bring effective emotional support directly to the children who need it most. It provides a replicable framework for those seeking to bridge academic support with tools that nurture confidence and emotional resilience.
