Beyond the activity timetable: ADHD, lifelong preferences and dementia care

What happens when the activities, routines and environments we offer do not suit the person receiving care? Join Kerry Billson to explore how a resident's lifelong preferences and experiences can help us ask better questions.

A practical introduction for care teams

For care-home managers, activities teams and care staff. We will explore noise, group activities, personal space and routines through three fictional care-home scenarios.

  • Why lifelong preferences belong in conversations about care.
  • What an ADHD lens can prompt us to explore, and what it cannot tell us.
  • How to distinguish observations from assumptions.
  • Three practical questions to take back to your team.
  • Time for questions, plus a brief introduction to paid team training and on-site reviews.
Educational, not diagnostic. This session cannot identify ADHD or replace clinical assessment. It does not promise clinical outcomes and is not accredited. Please keep questions general and do not share identifiable resident information.
