Aimed at children with ADHD, including those with co-occurring Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this volume is designed to provide a practical tool for addressing complex situations characterised by impulsivity, difficulties in emotional regulation and risk behaviours.

The programme is structured into 25 weekly group sessions, combined with individual work, guiding children in the development of key skills for everyday life. The main areas of intervention include:

  • personal values and committed actions
  • mindfulness
  • emotional impulsivity
  • problem solving
  • communication and assertiveness skills
  • executive functions

Activities are presented in a clear and detailed way, with numerous ready-to-use worksheets that support implementation in both clinical and educational settings.
