Presenter: Dr. Laura Riffel |

- This presentation will focus on some simple strategies that can be implemented in the classroom to mitigate the anxiety that is comorbid with ADHD. Many research articles are predicting an increase in anxiety among 5-18 year old children due to the pandemic. Therefore, the skills learned in this training; while beneficial for students with ADHD, will also help with the students who are expressing anxiety through behavior in the classroom without a diagnosis.
- Rationale:
- The comorbidity between anxiety and ADHD is reported to be anywhere from 25-48% (https://www.psycom.net/adhd-children-anxiety). We are expecting to see an increase in behaviors from relational anxiety due to the pandemic. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7481176/).
- This presentation will focus on the Three “R”s for ameliorating the behaviors that are outwardly expressed by students with ADHD and those with Anxiety tendencies.
- Revision of the Environment: There are many things that can be done to set up the environment to decrease the impulsivity, blurting, and disruptive fidgeting that can occur because of anxiety. Dr. Riffel will share some quick strategies that will be easy to implement.
- Replacement of Behavior: If we want to change outward behaviors, we must teach a competing behavior. Dr. Riffel will share three evidence-based ways to teach replacement behaviors.
- Reframing of Response: Children with ADHD with impulsive behaviors can be made more anxious by adults constantly pointing out the behaviors that are occurring. We can ease these behaviors by feeding the replacement behavior with behavior specific praise and teaching students how to self-monitor.

Dyslexia is a serious reading disorder affecting 5 to 10% of individuals in the United States. However, its causes and the best treatments for it are not well-understood. Dr. Devin Kearns will begin with an explanation of the skills students require for reading success and then address the nature of dyslexia and how it causes reading problems. Finally, Dr. Kearns will provide guidance about the elements of instruction that are essential for the success of students with dyslexia and how to address dyslexia within an MTSS/RTI process. The goal of the presentation is for attendees to leave with a strong understanding of the types of problems involved in dyslexia and knowledge about the critical elements of instruction.
This is a recording of the meeting held February 24, 2021.
