Presentation at the ABA International Conference 2025

From Opposition to Cooperation: Effective Interventions for Individuals Diagnosed with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Beyond  

Abstract:

Oppositional and impulsive behaviors significantly affect learning and social interaction, especially in children with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or ASD. In this presentation, we will explore effective behavioral interventions focused on prevention, structure, and cooperation that support the development of self-regulation and positive relationships. Examples will be provided that can be applied both in sessions with behavioral trainers and at home or school, with an emphasis on building a predictable, consistent, and connected environment to the child's real needs.
