How to Train ADHD Teams So They Actually Remember
Description
Presented by Understood.org
Many adults with ADHD feel like they have to repeat the same instructions again and again.
You explain a process to your team, everyone nods, and a week later it feels like no one remembers what they learned.
Earlier this week on ADHD Skills Lab, Skye and Robbie explored research on why ADHD brains often struggle during the encoding stage of learning. When information isn’t encoded properly, it never makes it into long-term memory.
In this episode they focus on what to do about it.
They break down practical systems that help ADHD professionals and teams actually retain information, including practice testing, spaced repetition, and designing learning environments that make it easier for ADHD brains to encode new information.
If you haven’t listened to Wednesday’s research episode, start there first.
