About this workshop

ADHD can impact an individual’s ability to work in a number of ways. Common challenges include attention, organisation, impulse control, and executive functioning.

In this in-person workshop, Occupational Therapists Michelle Murray and Ailís O’Dea from Anchor Therapy will explore how ADHD affects working life and how practical occupational therapy strategies can support people to function more effectively at work.

Occupational Therapists support individuals to develop practical life skills to:

• Better manage day-to-day routines
• Improve performance at school, college, and work
• Build healthier self-care habits
• Develop and maintain a more balanced work–life routine

This workshop is suitable for people who are self-employed, working in busy or demanding roles, working part-time or from home, or currently preparing to enter or return to employment.
