Description
Some people have a specific type of attentional difficulties that are different from ADHD. These symptoms, like excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and underactivity are referred to as Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)—previously sluggish cognitive tempo. Individuals with CDS experience difficulties in their academic/occupational work and in their social relationships.
View Stephen P. Becker, PhD, psychologist, researcher, author, and speaker specializing in ADHD, sleep, and CDS in children and adolescents as he:
- Breaks down CDS and its separation from ADHD
- Summarizes recent research on the impact of CDS symptoms on youth and adult function
- Provides current assessment approaches, including freely available rating scales to assess CDS across the life span
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to assess for ADHD’s lesser known—but just as prominent and debilitating cousin—Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome!
