ADHD remains one of the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorders, yet growing evidence suggests that cultural differences, trauma responses, environmental stressors, and systemic biases are often mistaken for symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity. This presentation explores how educators, counselors, and mental health professionals can differentiate between pathological behavior and culturally influenced expressions of communication, movement, engagement, and emotional regulation.
Participants will examine common misconceptions about ADHD, identify factors contributing to misdiagnosis among marginalized populations, and develop culturally responsive strategies for assessment, intervention, and advocacy.
Speaker: Dr. Bernell Elzey, Jr., LPC-S (LA), LPC (TX), NCC, NCSC Founder and Psychotherapist, Conscious Therapy and Wellness, LLC.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Identify common misconceptions surrounding ADHD diagnosis and symptom presentation.
Examine how culture, race, trauma, and environmental factors influence behavioral interpretation.
Differentiate between ADHD symptoms and culturally normative or adaptive behaviors.
Recognize systemic contributors to ADHD overidentification and under identification.
Apply culturally responsive assessment and intervention practices to support students more effectively.
