AI, ADHD, and Executive Functioning
AI tools are already showing up in clients' lives. For adults with ADHD, some tools can reduce friction, support working memory, or help turn intention into action. Others can quietly extend the same loops they were meant to interrupt.
This page is a simple home for the upcoming AI + ADHD clinician event and related follow-up resources.

Upcoming Event
AI + ADHD: A Clinical Look at Promise and Peril
Monday, May 18, 2026 - 12:00 PM CT - Free - Virtual - 30-min talk + 30-min Q&A
This event is designed for licensed mental health clinicians who work with ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, executive functioning, or clients who are already experimenting with AI tools between sessions.
The focus is not "best AI tools for productivity." It is a clinical conversation about what AI helps with, what it distorts, and what it can quietly make worse for the ADHD brain.
What We Will Look At
- Where AI can reduce cognitive load without replacing judgment
- How AI can support task initiation, translation, externalization, and working memory
- How AI can also extend avoidance, overprocessing, reassurance loops, or productive-looking stuckness
- How clinicians can talk with clients about AI without defaulting to hype or alarm
The practical question is not whether AI is good or bad. It is whether a tool is helping someone close the loop, or helping them keep processing instead of acting.
AI Transparency and Clinical Boundaries
AI tools may be used to help draft, organize, or refine educational materials. Clinical claims, public-facing language, and client-related decisions are reviewed by Stephen Andrew Waller-DeLaRosa, LPC.
AI tools are not used as a substitute for clinical judgment, diagnosis, assessment interpretation, treatment planning, or individualized care.
Do not enter client-identifying information, private clinical material, or PHI into general AI tools.

After the event, this page may be updated with a short follow-up resource and related writing on when AI helps ADHD and when it becomes another loop.
Register for the Free Virtual Session
If you are a clinician trying to think clearly about AI, ADHD, and the tools clients are already bringing into their lives, this session is meant to give you a clinical frame rather than another list of apps.
