A recorded webinar for Speech and Language Therapists and rehabilitation professionals

Adults with acquired brain injury may also have ADHD - diagnosed, suspected or previously unrecognised.

For SLTs working in ABI services, this can make communication assessment, formulation and therapy more complex.

ADHD-related communication patterns may overlap with cognitive-communication difficulties, and the client’s engagement may be shaped by executive function, state regulation, fatigue, shame, masking, threat responses and fluctuating capacity.

This 80-minute recorded webinar with slides is designed to help SLTs and rehabilitation professionals think more clearly and confidently about ADHD in ABI rehabilitation.

It explores how ADHD may interact with cognitive-communication difficulties, how to recognise when ADHD may be part of the clinical picture, and how to adapt therapy in a way that is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed and clinically practical.

What the webinar covers

  • why ADHD matters in ABI rehabilitation
  • how ADHD and ABI presentations can overlap
  • formulation clues and differential diagnosis considerations
  • ADHD-related communication strengths and challenges
  • executive function, state regulation, social cognition/pragmatics and load/capacity as drivers of communication patterns
  • rejection sensitivity and demand-avoidance related threat responses
  • transferable rehabilitation mechanisms already familiar to ABI SLTs
  • the TalkCoach 5 Pillar Framework for ADHD Communication with practical clinical examples of how the framework can be applied
  • implications for neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed communication rehabilitation

Who it is for

This webinar is for Speech and Language Therapists or other neurorehabilitation professionals interested in neurodiversity-affirming practice in ABI rehabilitation.

It may be particularly relevant if you work with clients who have complex communication profiles, fluctuating engagement, difficulty carrying over strategies, emotional reactivity, shame around communication, or suspected ADHD alongside ABI.

The aim is to help clinicians move beyond simply recognising that ADHD may be part of the picture, and towards adapting communication rehabilitation in a way that feels collaborative, sustainable and clinically useful.

What you will get

  • 80-minute recorded webinar
  • accompanying slides
  • clinical reasoning and formulation ideas
  • practical examples from SLT-style rehabilitation contexts
  • a framework you can use to reflect on your own cases
