Below are current findings related to ADHD and Trauma (in youth). 

IV. Clinical Implications

• Trauma-Informed Assessment: There's a call for clinicians to routinely assess for trauma in individuals with ADHD and vice versa. This is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
• Integrated Treatment Approaches: Research is exploring the effectiveness of integrated treatment models that address both ADHD and trauma simultaneously. This may involve combining medication, therapy, and other interventions.
• Therapeutic Modifications: Therapies are being adapted to better suit individuals with co-occurring ADHD and trauma. This includes considering ADHD-related challenges such as attention difficulties and impulsivity during therapy.
• Importance of Safety and Stabilization: In trauma treatment for individuals with ADHD, a strong emphasis is placed on establishing safety and emotional stabilization before addressing traumatic memories.

V. Strengths-Based Perspective

• Resilience: While focusing on challenges, research also acknowledges the resilience of individuals with ADHD and/or trauma.  
   
• Unique Strengths: As your presentation notes, ADHD can come with strengths like creativity and hyperfocus. Research is exploring how these strengths can be leveraged in coping with trauma.
